Does anyone know if this game will ever be supported on Intel Based Mac's? I have the windows version, and its an amazing game, but I really want to be able to play it on my MacBook. Is it possible to get it running? If so, how?

There is a Mac version of the game already. I got it years ago.

Yeah but the Mac Version will probably suck under RoseattaSchmoesetta. So you could install Windows using BootCamp and then play it without having to buy the game again.

Probably not. That game was in no way graphics intense and as long as there is at least 512 MB of RAM it will run smoothly.

Intel-Mac, schmintel-Mac... just install it. :black:
I think too many people are getting caught up in this, and thinking there is some grand and mythical difference between Intel and PPC based Macs. Those are only the processors.

What matters is the OS, not the CPU.

If it is made for Mac OS then it will run. On the off chance that it needs a PPC processor, then under Rosetta, it will run.
