For all of you MacOS users out there, I have a question regarding emulators to play old video games.

What emulator would you recommend that I could install that I could quickly and easily play Ultima IV: Quest of the Avatar on my Mac?

What all is involved exactly and do I need to own the game in some form or from somewhere, or how would I go about doing this?

In KCD1 it was easy - left button to draw sword, right button to draw bow (on PS). In KCD2 - you need to scroll through the list of your weapons and press x or wait to draw. And when the duel start you can get your ass kicked before you even draw a weapon because of it.

And sometimes the first time you try to parry - it’s not working.

And sometimes while the events draws your attacks don’t count and he kills you without stamina.

My eye is twitching.
