Hi,

I want to buy a game (Fallout) to play on the Macbook Pro I'll buy and I'm wondering if it's better to get the PC version and play it via bootcamp/parrallel or get the Mac version ?

Will the Mac version of an old game even work on an Intel Mac?

Thanks,
Stephan

If you have an opportunity to buy a Mac version of a game, assuming it's a Universal binary, then do it.

If not, play the Windows version under boot camp. I do not recommend gaming under Parallels - anything that requires Direct3D, DX8 or better, simply won't work.
