If there is written Mac system requirements on the box...then it's probably a "hybrid" game disk...which will install on both a Windows or Macintosh computer.

Only the ones that are meant to be installable on a Macintosh. There really wouldn't be a point of putting Macintosh system requirements on a box if it couldn't be installed on a Mac.

For example:

- only Windows system requirements on a box (can only be installed on a Windows computer)
- only Macintosh system requirements on a box (can only be installed on a Macintosh)
- both Windows & Macintosh system requirements on a box (then the disk has installers for both a Windows & Macintosh computer)...this is known as a "hybrid" install disk

HTH,
