You have an Intel iMac, install XP under bootcamp and you can run those games.....maybe not full quality.

Ok I'd hate to go back to XP but there is no emulator or anything like that out there for OS X gaming?

Windows Games Seamlessly Integrated on Mac or Linux - CrossOver Games

It's not compatible with everything, but I think it's supposed to work OK with those games.

None of the virtualization software will give you decent graphics performance... Crossover is pretty much the best option short of booting Windows on your Mac.

Well, that's nice.

Most likely he would end up there anyway, so why beat around the bush?

As far as the Crossover games, I really appreciate it that's something I was looking for.

In regards to the links provided below... besides the stupid kitten... what's that Mac junkie place?

It's a place you go if you're an asshole who steals games.

Please don't be an asshole.
