I'm also a Mac user dying to play these old games again.  Has anyone read/tried whether Bootcamp, Boxer, DOSbox, Parallels, ScummVM, Wine, etc. will run them in OS X?

There's also this, which might be a hint of things to come: https://twitter.com/gogcom/status/527114498545811456

I had TIE Fighter working on DOS Box but had no Joystick to plug into my macbook to play with, but the game loaded and seemed to work. If you're not a little tech/computer savvy DOS Box might be a little tough to get working ,though its pretty straightforward. And that was loading an illegal copy of the game downloaded from somewhere, so with the legit files, things should go more smoothly still.
