[QUOTE="repeater75, post: 82658"] I am fairly confident you won't be playing any Steam-powered games on your Mac. So, that puts Counterstrike out. I do know that Quake 1,2 and 3 have been [I]ported[/I] to the Mac - however what I'm looking to know is if I can take my PC cdrom and use the downloadable Mac patch (i.e. the Q3A point release 1.32) and install it and then copy my .pak file from the CD to my Q3A folder created by the installer on the hard drive. This would basically be how most games are installed under linux on x86 systems. I guess what I need is a forum for x86-linux switchers instead of Wintel switchers!!! That's not such a rare bird, though I'm told. From what I hear many former linux users are now Mac users. That is one of my primary interests in the Mac is the Unix underpinnings and ability to run great commercial software along with the best of open-source in a secure environment and not requiring Windows. (I know of at least 50 reasons I want to switch, believe me these are just a few). [/QUOTE]
