Welcome to Rapture. A city where opportunity awaits those brave enough to grasp it. A city where the artist need not fear the censor. Where the scientist is not bound by petty morality. Where the great are not held back by the weak… BioShock - one of the greatest games of all time - is now on the Mac.
Set in an alternate 1960, BioShock places you in the middle of an underwater utopia gone badly wrong. With a provocative and intelligent storyline, this is a game that is alternately beautiful, thrilling, funny and frightening and always very involving. An experience that makes you think while you play.

Comments
The disc image here is not a pristine copy of the DVD as it has the 1.0 NoDVD included on it. It would be good to have a perfect copy here also for historical reasons.
I might upload the full game image later as I have the files.
