Really old games

Does anyone here know where I can get really old games for my new macbook pro? I'm talking like windows 3.1 games.

If your looking for old mac games, its impossible now to use them on a MacBook Pro. As for windows, you would have to find a place that sells them, which I highly doubt anybody does.

The only thing I can tell you is to Google the word "abandonware" and sift through the results.

You might need to use something like DOSBox to run them, however.

Or Boot Camp or one of the virtualization apps from Parallels or VMWare.

DOSBox won't run Windows games, only DOS games.

You're right....I don't know why I thought he had mentioned DOS...probably because Win 3.1 ran on top of it. Ah well.

I saw some really old mac games on a website but I think they aren't able to be played on macbook pro.

Would you like Theme Park World even though it is not really old?
