I'm 99.5% sure it is not, but just for the hell of it I'll ask.
Be happy.

Until a new PC version comes out that breaks network compatibility, the Mac version is compatible, as are all MP Quake 3 Engine games running the same versions on Macs and PCs.

Bizarre... you've just made my day!
It's not a Blizzard game nor a mainstream FPS, yet it's cross-platform compatible!? TO WHAT HATH THY WORLD COME??
Be happy.

Rune is also cross-platform compatible (but not OS X compatible...goddamnit).

What really pisses me of is "Age Of Kings"'s lack of compatibility... just... wtf..........

It suffers from the same problem as every other game that lacks Mac<->PC netplay compatibility: it uses DirectPlay on the PC side.
