what games are working on your macbook

[Del]

maybe i've just got to spring for the 2Gb of memory...

Dont buy through Apple, way too expensive!! Buy from crucial or kingston or some similar top brand name.

 

[eric]

yep - well aware. thanks!

 

[Louie]

wow, that's surprising. but good for you!

why surprising? the choice in game or that it works

 

[eric]

that a newer FPS works without any dedicated video.

 

[Louie]

warcraft 3 isnt new:S and its definatly not fps

 

[eric]

d'oh, got confused by mentions of wow and cod.
so you got the breakfast special. two errors in one!

ok... so I DLed. simcity 2000 and the file when i click on it asks what application do I want to open "simcity 2000 collection.sit" with? I feel like an idiot but I am new to the macbook and not sure how to open this file. I would like to do a bit of gaming. Thanks ahead of time

 

[eric]

well... it's for classic, non-intel only.

re: sim city 2000 question from above.

you can use stuffit to expand it, but i can't get it to run since it's a classic game (not universal or ppc under rosetta).

not sure if we can run classic games through an emulator? does anyone know?

by the way, welcome to the forums Kav Ky!

thats a bummer I love sim city all though I wanted a macbook for general purposes it would be nice to game a bit. I ordered ages of empires 2 but it won't come until the 3rd. Thanks for the welcome. I went mac, and its black, so I guess I will never go back!

 

[eric]

let us know how aoe2 works, i'm really interested to know!

good luck with the blackbook!

 

[Kav Ky]

will do not sure if I will get to play it much this week as my schedule is touch and go all week. but i will post a quick review soon. any other games available for freeware worthy of a DL?

 

[MephistoX]

I'd like BF2, UT, Quake 4, and Counter-Strike.

The middle two work on macs by themselves, but the outside ones need Bootcamp, unfortunately.

Its a real let-down that Steam doesn't work for macs

 

[Cyclone268]

Does quake 4 run on a black macbook?

 

[Kav Ky]

installed a full version with expansion packs of AOE2 last night but I have not had a chance to play as of yet. I have an Explorer that I am replacing a hub assembly on with a bearing and 2 shows this weekend. I will try to figure in some time to play a bit if I can.

oh and if anyone has any ideas on how to remove a hub assembly let me know

Should be no problems. I'm running it on a ppc mini with everything turned up and there's no issues. Except for the amount of my life I'm losing to this game.

Well I am running half life 2 Dethmatch with no problems on my Intel iMac G5

different animal. you have dedicated graphics - that's why a thread devoted to the macbook is pretty important. so we know what will and won't run.

 

[Mathiau]

the starter of this thread , or perhaps a new thread to make a sticky of just games and peoples FPS and such in a clear table,as opposed to going though pages of quesions

 

[versailles]

what about knights of the old republic?

what about knights of the old republic?

yes someone please confirm this... im anxiously trying to find out how well either of the Knights of the Old Republic games work on a Macbook.
