O.K., sad as this may seem, the last computer I bought (Dell, four years ago) was for college work, but I decided on a PC because it would support my older games.

Question is, anyone know of a site that carries some of the older games in a MAC version as my next computer just might be a MAC?

Macs are not to be spelled in all caps. MAC is Machine Address code, not Macintosh.

As for your main question, I have no idea. Sorry

See, I'm learning already! Sorry 'bout the caps, I am rookie when it comes to the Macs!

Thanks for the info, I gues I will just have to modernize my games or go with a PC gaming machine and possibly a Mac work machine.

Yeah, if you are purely wanting a gaming machine, a Mac is not the machine for you.

As far as finding old games, there are plenty of sites. InsideMacGames.com has a good online store, or you can always buy directly from the porter, such as Aspyr.com

If you're looking for old mac games, the Macintosh Garden is a great resource. There are DOS emulators too if you're into those old DOS games, but getting them to play without choppy sound or poor perfomance makes the situation almost not worth pursuing. Otherwise there's lots of cool little indie Mac games out there.

Oh, and Apple's Downloads section is a geat resource too, for games and apps of all kinds.
