All,

I am getting my girlfriend switched over to Macintosh, but she likes two games on MSN Game Zone and I can't a Mac browser to work there. To get her fully cut over we'll need to get her some games. She likes the games Zuma and Mozaki blocks...both flash games it seems

Does anyone know of stand-alone games for Mac that would be similar?

Thanks in advance

If she likes puzzle games, here are a few that I like:
Bejeweled (Alchemy is okay, too).
TextTwist (WhatWord, doesn't do much for me, tho).
Super Collapse, Super Glinx, Super Nisqually. All three of these are good, but Collapse is easily the most repetitious of the three.
Failing these, get her hooked on Mahjong. Several good versions of which are available.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Thanks I bought her Aki from Ambrosia today as she already likes Mahjongg.

Zuma is a spinning head that shoots balls at other balls coming towards you and Mozaki is like a tetris game (just remembered) so maybe I can get her a Tetris variation.

FWIW,

I was able to find similar games for her to play at games.yahoo.com which work in Java on Mac browsers. Something to file away for reference.

Thanks again.
