Hey

Trying to install my kids "Macintosh" compatible games on our new iMac Duo Core 2 however EVERY single one states it is not compatible with this system for some odd reason.

Running Mac OSX 10.4.8 with 2GB RAM, I don't see why there should be an issue?

Is there something I am doing wrong or something I am needing to do for compatibility issues? (I am new to Mac completely as you can see).

Thanks a lot

Classic games will not work period. It is kinda tough to figure out which games are Classic (pre OS X) and which are not though. Sometimes the system reqs for the game say 'OS X (classic mode)'.
Cars Radiator Springs Adventures and Cars (the Target exclusive) both are UBs.KidPix (which is fantastic) is a UB as well.
Barbie Mermaid runs fine, as does Piglet's Big Adventure.
So far that's all I've put on my C2D MBP. Eventually I'll toss on a couple of I Spy's and some more Barbie games, and Ollo becaue Ollo just plain rocks. Reminds me, I need to get Moop & Dreadly. I'll also toss on Didi & Ditto as well to see how that works.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!
