Air Hockey
Air Hockey is a digital recreation of the classic arcade air hockey game for macOS. It simulates the fast-paced paddle-and-puck gameplay of the physical table game, allowing players to compete against AI opponents or in local multiplayer mode on a single Mac. The game typically features smooth physics simulation, various arena designs, and straightforward controls aimed at casual players looking for quick, arcade-style entertainment.
AI Recommendation
1 suggestionWe could not find reliable information about whether a native Apple Silicon build of Air Hockey (com.sharkey.airhockey) exists or whether the app is still actively maintained by its developer. The bundle ID suggests this is a smaller independent game rather than a major commercial title, which makes current status information harder to verify. To determine what you should do, contact the developer directly to ask whether a native Apple Silicon build has been released, or whether one is planned before Apple removes Rosetta 2 in macOS 28 (September 2028). If the developer is no longer active and no native build is available, the Intel version will stop launching once Rosetta 2 is retired in September 2028. Retro Air Hockey (available at bannister.org) is an actively maintained native air hockey game for macOS with confirmed Apple Silicon support, and would serve as a functional alternative if Air Hockey itself is no longer supported.
