Default Project Death from Space

So, I've heard about Dwarf Fortress. However, due to my computer's specs, I can't play it. Until Clockwork Empires comes out, any ways to make my murderous video game superweapons a digital reality? Anything from industrialized torture to nuclear satellites would work. I just need replayability. (Also, I am actually suprisingly moral. I simply like a healthy form of catharsis. Fiery death is also satisfactory)

Evil Genius, maybe? It's not very replayable, but it allows you to vent your frustration upon the unsuspecting world, and those agents stupid enough to try and infiltrate your Evil Fortress of Doom.

Sorry, I didn't realize the situation was so dire. I was going to say I didn't think Dwarf Fortress took much of anything to run...

BootCamp or Wine (or is Wine the linux version... I know there is a version for Mac) should work on quite a few older games.

Yeah. Maybe I'll just see if the powerful computer in my home I completely forgot about can play DF. Having a mac sucks.

Mac version of DOSBox, grab Master of Orion 2 (with 1) from GOG, play as a species of bug monsters (Repulsive, Tolerant, Unification) and devour the galaxy.
