Running windows games on a Mac?
0
Hey guys, I recently got an imac to replace my pc and am loving it. I don't play games on it so I figured it wouldn't matter, but I didn't take into account the h games I play and am now a bit stuck.
To be honest I am still getting used to the mac, are there any easy programs I can use to get them to run?

Haha, good job.
Not.
Parallels does something, and so does Boot Camp. Either way, you'd be better off running them on a real Windows machine.

Well, i recently got a macbook due to "work" and "school" purposes and i say running windows games on mac... not such a good idea.
***
it works thou, dont get parallel desktop... get bootcamp. u mite need an activation code and stuff but those stuff can be cracked if u search hard enuf. i can run cs source and thats about how far it goes.

Well if you have the money to afford a Mac, then you probably have the money to afford a PC to play all the games on =X My uncle who does international business has a Mac laptop because he can afford it (6-figure salary) and that he's stuck in the mindset that Macs can't get a virus or spyware. He doesn't do shit on it besides work and itunes so it suits him well.

That's a lot of work. :shock:
I also have a mac, but I guess I might as well invest in windows if I ever want to play H games. T.T

System error.
Viruses have been made for the Mac, and some of them even rely on users being as stupid as they are.

Well ive been using many different Linux distros for a while, so i looked around and since OSX is similar i figured there would be a similar program like WINE for MAC.

I don't have a MAC to try this on, but the newest version of WINE that I am using in Ubuntu works just fine with many simple windows games and applications.
If your up to trying it, ill help as much as I can!
