v. 1.0
X³: Reunion is a space trading and combat simulation that continues the story of X²: The Threat. The war with the mysterious Khaak still rages at the borders of Argon space, where the weakened defending forces try to stop the expanding invasion. But a new, even bigger menace arises in the endless darkness of space. Like its predecessors, the game features free-form gameplay, allowing the player to completely ignore the main story of the game (actually there is an option to play the game without any story at all). There are several ways to earn money or reputation - mining asteroids, trading, building player-owned stations, fighting against pirates or becoming pirate oneself, and so on, only to name a few. With a large variety of ships and equipment, the player can build (or capture) a whole customised battle and/or trading fleet. (MobyGames)
The four downloads are parts of a zipped archive that contains the game.
There are updaters available for the boxed version but these do not work on this version of the game, and so are not uploaded here.
This is the original version of X3: Reunion for Mac OS X ported by Virtual Programming using the Cider "wrapper" technology. In 2010 they released a native port of the game that did not rely on Cider, stating “We weren't happy with X3: Reunion's performance when using Cider, and it turned out many of our customers weren't either.”
The latest version that runs natively on modern Mac systems can be purchased from the Mac App Store.

One way to do it is to drop part *.001 onto The Unarchiver to combine the parts and uncompress the archive. All the parts need to be in the same location. (See MikeTomTom's answer to a similar question about Star Wars:Battlefront.)
What decompression app should I be using?
@003: Look a bit more carefully at the contents of the folder you get when you unzip the archive.
Quick question here: what the product code or is there a crack for this? Keeps asking for the product code when I start the game, but I didn't see any in the manual. Thanks!!
