Hello to all, hopefully someone knows of a way around this....
I'm trying to download age of empires 3 on my g5 powerpc, but all files are .rar, which my os won't recognise, I can't upgrade to leopard os as I'm on the end of powerpc os at 10.4.11.
Is there a way of downloading and using this file (without buying a new imac - I kinda like mine!)

Any help much appreciated
Thanks

Why can't you upgrade to Leopard? Your machine should be able to run Leopard 10.5.8 without a problem. (As long as you have enough memory.)

As for RAR files, you should be able to extract and open them with UnRAR for Mac.

Age of Empires III is a commercial game and as such, downloading it is against the law. Discussion of this contravenes the Community Guidelines and as such, I'm going to close this thread.
