It's not the best game (ha!), but it's by far one of the most popular.

I'm actually ditching my PCs for just gaming on my mac (Powerbook Ti800). I play some games, and they are available on my Powerbook...so I don't feel the urge to maintain two different platforms. Besides... I like being able to game anywhere!!! Powerbooks rock!! Woot!

if anyone wants to trade a mac for P4 PC check the for sale section on boards here.. I posted an add.

That's not a fair trade!

My friend who has been using Macs all of his life has suddenly decided to get a PC for gaming, he cant stand the fact he cant play the games he wants. But, is it really worth spending the hundreds maybe thousands to get a decent PC? The requirements for games just keep getting greater, I don't know if I could afford upgrading two computers at a time. For example, when Doom 3 comes out it is going to have the largest requirements seenfor a game (thats just my prediction.)

I am starting to feel the frustration myself, and if games don't start getting made for Mac, then I will get a PC. The fact that companies aren't updating mac games is really sad, and its not fair!

Give it time... as people switch to Mac and OS X catches on big time, we'll probably start seeing an increase in the number and quality of games being produced. Like, when the Mac OS starts recapturing user base at an amazing rate.

Until then, there's always Virtual PC.

I have a Mac and I use it for Gaming. It stinks! If I want to play a game at a descent speed I have to go into the dull OS 9! I wish someone would find a solution to this annoying problem!

What specifically is the problem? If your computer's too slow, it's because it's 5 years old. You can't expect to run the latest greatest games on a 5-year-old computer on either platform. If you're serious about playing games on a Mac, you have to upgrade.
