How can I play old Apple System 7 games on a new imac?

I would like to play some of the old games that I loved thirty years ago when I bought a Mac SE. My kids loved Cairo Shootout, Mille Bourne, Birds, and the old Rogue (still have the floppy!).
Is there a straightforward way to do that, without violating the Apple license agreement?

Classic Environment was a Mac feature that would let you run Mac OS applications but was limited to OS X 10.4.11 maximum.

You can get an older Mac at a reasonable price to run these old games in native Mac OS. Beware that some old
games will not play on PPC machines and require Macs with 030 or 040 processors.

  • HT204053 How can I delete old apple  IDs

    How can I delet old apple I'd so I only have one because it causes problems when downloading apps

    The content (music, videos, apps, games, etc) that is aquired with an Apple ID is forever tied to that ID. Apple does not transfer the content of one Apple ID to another ID and Apple does not merge Apple IDs. Unless you wish to abandon all of the content associated with an Apple ID and buy it again with another Apple ID, you should maintain the ID in order to redownload or update the content in the future.
    It is not a good idea to make numerious Apple IDs for this very reason.

  • HT1498 rented movie on iMac how can I play on apple tv ?

    rnted movie on imac, how can I play on apple tv

    iMac need to be on with iTunes running and Home Sharing enabled on the imac and AppleTV.
    Provided the movie has FULLY downloaded to the imac you should be able to play it on AppleTV using the Computers icon.  The iMac may say it's ready to watch but it won't show on AppleTV until fully downloaded.
    Under Computers you will have options for Movies, TV Shows etc.
    Select Movies and any available rentals will be seen in a Rentals row that appears only when a valid rental is available to play.
    Do not try to play from the main menu movies icon (logical if it allowed you to but it won't!).

    How can i play my avi formatted movies with the new mac OSX 10.9.2 update?

    Try using VLC or installing both QuickTime 7 and Perian. Nothing will work with all AVIs; some of them require codecs not available for Mac OS X.

  • How can i sync numbers from my iPad to my new iMac?

    how can i sync numbers from my ipad to my new imac?

    If you mean spreadsheets from within the Numbers app on your iPad to your computer's iTunes then there are instructions here. If you mean that you want to copy the Numbers app from the iPad to your computer then you can copy it to your computer's iTunes via File > Transfer Purchases; but if you want to use Numbers on your Mac then you will need to buy the Mac OS X version.

  • How can i delete and apple id and create a new one without a password?

    how can i delete and apple ID without a password so i can create a new one? thank u

    It is not possible to delete an apple id completely. You can only delete information like credit card, adress, name... To do this, go to iTunes Store, click on your email adress in the upper right corner and enter your password. Now you can manage your account.
    An apple id without password is not possible.

  • How can I play my  windows-based itunes library on an imac?

    Does anyone know of a way that I can transfer my windows-based itunes library to my new imac?

    Instructions:
    for iTunes

    for iPhoto
    http://www.wondershare.com/photo-editing-tips/move-iphoto-library.html
    Remember you only move the libraries, not the apps. So it will, as you want it to, "run normally through the imac". After the move, the first time you open the app, you have to identify the location of the library.

  • I want to play PC games on my MacBook Pro but they all support windows. How can a play these kind of games on my MacBook Pro?? Thank you

    What program's or apps do I need to play windows supported PC games?

    There are some applications that allow you to install Windows applications in OS X, like CrossOver. However, these apps often fail and they don't work with all the applications, so that's not a valid solution.
    As LowLuster said, the best option is to use Boot Camp to install Windows there. First of all, check what Windows editions you can run in your MacBook > http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5634
    After choosing the edition you want to buy (I recommend you to use Windows 7 or 8 if possible), buy a full version or System Builder of that Windows version. Then, follow these steps to install Windows > http://manuals.info.apple.com/en_US/boot_camp_install-setup_10.8.pdf It's important to download the Windows support software

  • I have had bad luck lately I lost my computer to water cant be fixed and now my IPOD has been stolen when I get a new one how can I get my I tunes,games on the new one without my computer or old I pod

    What kind of iPod are you getting to replace it? If it is an iPod Touch, and you are in the US, after you set up the Touch you can use the iCloud beta and download your previous music, books and app purchases directly to your Touch.

    You could try what

  • How can I play sound from my MacBook Pro through my iMac?

    I have a MacBook pro which I am looking to use for only iTunes or Spotify for the time being but the iMac built in speakers are better.
    I am internet sharing from an ethernet on my iMac and the Macbook pro is connected to the shared network.
    Can I play music from Spotify on my macbook pro but out of my iMac speakers?
    Thanks
    James

    For sound, try the audio output port and connecting to the RCA  audio input ports on your Pioneer receiver.  Use something like this:
