Additionally, another alternative is to buy a copy of Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion if you don’t already own one. In the meantime, Apple unofficially recommends either that you keep an old Mac on hand that runs a pre-Catalina version of the OS or that you partition your current Mac so that it can start up with an older macOS version as well as Catalina or Big Sur.
Please be assured, that we are looking at all possible solutions, and hope to find one that is economically feasible, so that you can continue to enjoy your older Nancy Drew Mac games. Unfortunately, this means that Catalina and Big Sur will block all older Nancy Drew Mac games (#22 – #32). As you may be aware, the biggest change is that Apple no longer supports older 32-bit apps or games in Apple’s 64-bit operating system.
Apple’s latest version of macOS, 10.15 Catalina, and 10.16 Big Sur may look a lot like earlier versions of the operating system, but its vastly different.
