Unless you're fond of Windows Solitaire, Hearts, or Minesweeper...forget about it. VPC and games don't play well together.
 
What he said. Any newer games + emulation = sucks arse. :)

You should either get yourself a small Winblows PC, or be happy with the games you can get for the mac. I know, both not that great solutions... :(
 
Well, when you consider which PC games have been ported over to the Mac, it's mostly the games that are most popular like Unreal Tournament 2004 or Quake 3 and the like. It's always been like that on the Mac platform which I personally think is a good thing. Sure there are tons more game titles on the Windows side, but have you played some of them?? They tend to suck more often than not.

Try and get the games that have ports over to the Mac, that way you'll be assured of awesome gameplay on both platforms. :D
 
Also, if you happen to own the PC versions of some particular games, then the Mac OS X update - freely downloadable - will allow you to play the game. This was true of Quake 1 and 2, and Unreal Tournament. You simply had to setup the game on a PC, and copy the entire game folder across to your Mac, then install the Mac OS X update patch for that game and Viola*!

Wrong, it's a small stringed instrument ;)

Some games do have Mac-PC multiplayer options, but not all.
 
umm...

You could set the iBook on a table, put the pc on top of it and run the game... ;)
It may void the warrantee however :D :p
 
symphonix, cool sig!

I think the you have an iBook D and the ram should be CCCLXXXIV. I hope it gets to be DCXL soon.
 
tsk. theres no such roman numeral as IIX. Eight would be VIII! But yeah, back to subject on hand. Nadda. Nope. I used to play a lot of games then i kinda stopped and when I got my mac, I stopped almost altogether. I have Quake 3 and Halo but aside from that occasionally I dont play much anymore. If you wanna play games on a mac, make sure its a good system and that you are aware of the games available.
