What error do you get? Try launching it from the terminal and give a bit more information. Where did you obtain the game? Is it version 0.7.0?

Thanks. I've just tried it on another MAC with a fresh download and it runs fine. hmmmm I'll try it again tonight and let you know the error.

Sorry. I'm away on holiday. When I get back I'll post the error.

I'm probably a bit late to the party, but if The Ur-Quan Masters isn't starting at all on a recent Mac OS X system, it could well be bumping into bug #1158 (https://bugs.uqm.stack.nl/show_bug.cgi?id=1158), which boils down to folder permissions.

I've submitted a patch on that bug but until that gets reviewed, you could try a workaround listed in a forum post (http://forum.uqm.stack.nl/index.php?topic=5081.0).
