My Cousin has DSL now and we want to play games w/ each other .... problem is we can't find any that will work w/ each other.

I'm pretty sure AOE can work cross platform but we couldn't get that to work, so as a last ditch effort we both downloaded the GR Demo but that wasn't working either.... so he's probably going to buy the full version since we can play together on that.

most games could I thought.


Unreal Tournament 2004
Starcraft
Warcraft 3
Call of Duty
etc.



i think usually the only requirement is that the two computers have to have the same version of the software (like v. 1.4 is incompatible to v 1.3). As long as every computer is patched to the latest version, they should be able to play together.

Try the Call of Duty demo, if you want to test it with demos... however, I'm not sure if any demos work cross-platform.

All the games listed by the other two posters do work cross platforum for sure.... for the full versions at least.

Nope. The others have listed a good amount of games, I have nothing more to contribute

I don't really remember why but it's true. However the mods and maps made by windows users will work on the mac install.
