why won't the Mac version work
Two things might have gone wrong:
  • the app is quarantined by Gatekeeper because it's from an unknown developer;
  • the executable inside the app might have lost its execute permission during the zipping/unzipping process
To check quarantine, start Terminal and type "xattr " without the quotes at the prompt and drag the True Bond app into the Terminal window. Terminal will fill out the path for you. Mind there is a space between the command and said path. Hit enter. If you see com.apple.quarantine in the results, the app is quarantined.
To remove the quarantine, type "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine " and drag the app again into the window. Hit enter. Quarantine should now be removed.

To check the second case, you need to look into the contents of the app: right click on the True Bond app, pick Show package contents. Navigate to /Contents/MacOS/. Inside that folder you'll see a file called True Bond. That file should be a Unix executable. If it's anything else, it has lost its execute permission.
To fix this, start Terminal and type "chmod a+x " without the quotes at the prompt and drag the file inside the Terminal window. Terminal will fill out the path for you. Again mind there is a space between the command and the path. Hit enter. The file should now be executable.

As a general precaution, make a duplicate of the app first before changing its attributes or permissions.

Those commands should work if you made no errors.
Try again. Type "xattr -d com.apple.quarantine " without the quotes and drag the app again into the window and hit enter. Terminal will give a response if there are any errors in the command you gave. If the command is executed correctly, you will just get a new prompt.
Next try to start the executable directly (the one in /Contents/MacOs/). This will start a Terminal session which will in its turn start the game. If not, Terminal will give a response as why it didn't.

the xattr command went well but the Content/MacOs part didn't
View attachment 2091888
Again easy to see what the problem is. The True Bond file opens in TextEdit instead of Terminal. This means it is missing the execute permisson.
See the second part of my original post on how to fix this. Again, make sure there is a space between the command and the path to the file.
