| 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. Doug

| 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? |
