  • Playing old games on Mac OS X

    I'm trying to install some older games (97-00) onto my macbook pro, but I can't get them installed. When i click on the disc, it asks for a application to open it with, and I can't figure one out that works. Is there any way to get these games installed and working?

    It depends on what OS these games were released for. Were they for Mac OS 8/9, or for some version of Mac OS X? If they were for Mac OS 8/9, then there's probably no practical way you can run those on your MacBook Pro. Sheepshaver is the only way to run Classic apps on an Intel system, but its performance is often too low for games. You could try it, though, and see if it would work for you (Sheepshaver is old and its compatibility with Snow Leopard I don't know).

  • Old game on new mac

    Is there any way to play an old game (Traitors Gate) on my MacBook Pro. It's written for Mac OS 7.5. Are there any emulators out there? Or can I install OS 9 as a virtual machine (via Parallels or similar)? I have so many good adventure games that they just don't make anymore and have been itching to replay them since it's been so long and it would be as if playing them for the first time. (The other one is Titanic: Adventure Out of Time). I tried playing it in Vista (via Parallels) and even though it was do-able, it was very laggy.
    (To think that the hardware that was available when the games were new pales in comparison to what's out there now and it seems as though the game is too much for my current computer...lol)

    Hi! Short answer is No is isn't worth the effort. Tom

  • Playing an old game on a new Mac

    I just bought Quake 3 Arena for my MacBook Pro and when I try to install the game it says the classic environment is not supported and won't allow me to install it. Is there anyway I can install it or will a 12 year old game not play on a new mac?

    Just to repeat: He WILL be able to RUN the game on his Mac as there is a Universal Binary version available (I know because I have it and have used it in the week since I've upgraded to Lion). It's just difficult to INSTALL because one has to manually extract files from the installation CD and then locate and install the UB version from wherever the developer stores it on the net. I gave him a link to the application and a link to the germ of some instructions for installing - from the CD - the other bits needed for the application to run.
    Here's a little more, but I'm not interested in spending any more time tracking down every little tidbit of information needed for a self-confessed ignoramus (no offense intended) to whack together a 10-year-old game for a brand-new Mac:
    http://forums.macrumors.com/archive/index.php/t-295870.html
    "all you need is the pak0.pk3 from your quake disc. put it into the baseq3 subfolder of the universal binary. the pak0.pk3 file should be about 460mb and has all the textures.
    you can use ioquake3 if none of the other universal doohickeys work - it worked for me. http://ioquake3.org/"

  • An old game with no uninstaller, here for good? oh, no.

    i have an old (1998) game called carmageddon 2. i bought it and installed it a couple of months ago. since then, ive beaten it many times and am now sick of playing it and i want it off. so, i look to uninstall it and there is no uninstaller. i checked all the files that come on the disk that the game came on. so, i look to see if interplay who made the game can help. i think they've gone out of business, for they havent replied to my emails and thier website looks as though they stopped updating it a long long time ago. so am i stuck with this game? its like a wart thats taking up useful space. is there anyway of wiping this stuff off of my computer?
    powerbook   Mac OS X (10.4.6)   a question about an old game running on classic 9

    HI, SB. If the file is merely locked, that won't prevent you from putting it into the Trash, and holding down the Option keey when emptying the Trash will dispose of it. If the error message is that the file is "locked or in use", the file may be open or in use by other software, in which case you can't move it to the Trash. Try this: boot to a CD — any bootable CD or DVD will do — and then try moving the file to the Trash and emptying it.
    If even that doesn't work, your hard disk directory is probably damaged and needs to be repaired. Boot to your latest OS Installer CD or DVD and open Disk Utility. Run the Repair Disk routine repeatedly until you've gotten two successive "Appears OK" verdicts from it. Then trash the file and empty the Trash.
    If you can't get a clean bill of health from Disk Utility, you'll need to use a more powerful disk utility such as DiskWarrior or TechTool Pro to make the necessary repairs.

  • I got an old game set up for system 7.5 and my 10.6.8 wont run it.  Is there a download of the older systems that would allow me to play this game?

    Any ideas on how to get this old game working on the newer model computer?  The message I get is that it wont run it "because Classic environment is no longer supported".

    You could look into Sheepshaver which supports older OS versions but I hear can be very tricky to install.  you may also find that a game will not work on it because games often want to control the hardware directly and an OS7 game will have absolutely no idea how to run your computer.  Frequently it is recommended you just buy an old Mac capable of running OS7.
    Even if you had a Classic-capable computer it is still quite possible it would not run an OS7 game. I found many of my OS7 games stopped working even when I ran a computer actually booted to OS9.
    Which game is this?  Some old favorites are being re-released for OSX, e.g. Solarian.
    By the way, it would be better to post this in the correct forum ((probably Snow Leopard) since this forum is intended for questions about how to use this web site.

  • Old games on new Computer..........Help! IM Stupid!!!

    I recently purchased a G5 imac. I cant play my old games (Diablo 2, Heroes, Age of Empires) on Mac os X because it says it cant find Mac OS 9.1. I dont think I should have to buy the old software and I dont know what to do. It doesnt make sense that the developers didn't account for this. Please give me help, Thanx!

    think I lost all that software
    Steffan, the DVD's or CD's that come with your computer should be treated like gold. There are many, many good reasons for ALWAYS keeping them in a safe place. Chances are you will need them for troubleshooting purposes one day. They will even increase the resale value of your Mac if should ever want to sell it (just ask any regular in the iMac G3 forum what they think about people buying older imacs that DON'T come with these disks.)
    If you really have lost them then you should be able to get a replacement set from Apple, by quoting your model and serial number , etc. You will have to pay a fee for them, but it is well worth doing.
    Cheers

  • Playing Old Games

    I've been trying to play old games on my emac, it has Classic on it, but I can't get Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego to install, the one game I really want to play. lol! Is there a way I can make it work, I am desperate to? I know it was originally made for 7.something but I thought it should be able to install on Classic but it won't. Can I hook up my old G3? Would that work? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. This is also the only Carmen Game that is not OSX (native).

    I will try and boot Classic natively when I get home.
    There is no such beast as boot Classic natively. You either boot Mac OS 9, or use Classic. Powerbook G4s with USB ports on the rear of the machine can boot Mac OS 9. Powerbook G4 with USB ports on the side of their keyboards can only use Classic. Mac OS X 10.5 and later don't allow running the Classic environment, but will on Powerbook G4s with USB ports on the rear of the machine allow booting into Mac OS 9.
    If your Mac supports booting into Mac OS 9, you will have installed the Mac OS 9 drivers as stated here:
    http://support.apple.com/kb/TA26834?viewlocale=en_US
    and then installed Mac OS 9 that either came bundled with your Mac, or later retail version of Mac OS 9 which looks like * with no update or upgrade on the label. Finally, Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Startup Disk will let you switch to Mac OS 9 by selceting the Mac OS 9 system folder and selecting restart. Macs post the 9.2.1 release can only use their prebundled Mac OS 9 disc or restore discs to install Mac OS 9. Macs released after the July 2002 Jaguar 10.2 release, have a restore installer that installs the Mac OS 9 system folder on their prebundled discs.
    If your Mac has 10.4.11 or earlier installed and supports Classic, Apple menu -> System Preferences -> Classic can be set to launch the Classic environment when an application is launched, or your machine boots into Mac OS X, or when you manually select it from the System Preference. That same restriction of installer discs applies, but no Mac OS 9 driver needs to be installed. Unfortunately Classic lacks certain driver support for graphics and sound making some games lack any support whatsoever.

  • Playing old games on OS X version 10.5.3

    I can't play my favorite game ever because it says the computer doesn't support the "classic environment".
    Is there a way around this?
    Thanks.

    See my FAQs*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/macosxnative.html
    http://www.macmaps.com/macgamepages.html
    As you'll see any old games that require Classic essentially require an operating system that hasn't been updated since 2001.
    Booting into Mac OS 9 gives you full driver support of Classic applications.
    Using Classic only gives you partial support of Classic applications.
    10.5 eliminates Classic, but still supports booting into 9 if you have a pre-2003 Mac (the 1 to 1.25 Ghz MDD G4 with no Firewire 800 which was available in 2003 and later new was really a pre-2003 Mac) that is 867 Mhz or faster.
    PowerPC Macs released 2003 and later could only use Classic when booting into 10.4.11 or earlier. A Firewire hard drive or second partition allows you to have 10.4.11 or earlier simultaneously installed with 10.5 on the same Mac allowing you to use those older software titles.
    2006 and later Macs use the Intel CPU, and they can't boot into 9, nor can they use Classic.
    You can find used and refurbished Macs*:
    http://www.macmaps.com/usedrefurbished.html
    which will allow you to run older games if they haven't been upgraded to current compatibility.
    The irony is, 2006 and later Macs have better hardware support for all Windows and Linux operating systems than older Macs, thus allowing you to run in virtualization Windows or Linux at native speeds, and giving you full compatibility with Windows and Linux games which was only possible through emulation before.

  • Old games on a macbook?

    Hi, total noob here.. i'd love to play old Lemmings, for instance, or Quake, but they just won't play.. I don't want to have to split my mac into part-windows or anything like that - are there patches available so I can emulate an old OS in order to play old games?
    please keep answers simple...

    Hey there,
    You may be able to run the Sheep Shaver Emulator. It's page can be found below and can answer more of your questions in regards to its use. Hope this helps.

  • How do I remove software such as old games.  I've tried to remove it the traditional way but it doesn't work

    I am running iOS 10.95 on my Mac Book Pro.  I want to remove some no longer wanted software...some old games and such.  They can't be deleted in the traditional ways such as holding down the pad until the app giggles and hitting the X or by dragging and dropping.  What can I do?

    Actually the "holding down the pad" method in Launchpad is relatively new, and will only work with apps that you downloaded from the App Store. Other applications will not show an X in Launchpad.
    You should delete them from Finder by dragging them out of the Applications folder to your trash. If they have an uninstaller in their application folder, you should use that instead.

  • I need to earase some of my old games on the i pad ,i try to push it and wait for it wiggle but i could not see the x sign ...is there somethig  else i should do or forgot to do ?

    i try to delele some of my old games of the i pad ...push in wait til wiggle and the x ....but haven't see the x come up ....what did i done wrong or why there is no x sign ????

    Try syncing to your Mac and then try again.  Don't know what is causing that problem. 
    If you really must delete the item from your ipad, first delete it in iTunes on your computer then sync the iPad with the computer. 

  • Old games won't play.

    So, I bought a copy of Oregon Trail II off of Amazon. This game was made for Macs. It should play on a Mac. Right?
    Wrong.
    I insert the CD, the little Finder thing pops up displaying the CD's contents, and the Install icon has a little "no" sign through it. I click on it anyways, and it tells me that "You cannot open the application 'Installer' because it is not supported on this system."
    And it's not just this game. All the old games I could find in my house that said they would play on a Mac (like Labyrinth of Crete, for example) give me the same error messages.
    What gives? I want to play OTII! ;_;

    Presumably all your old games are of a similar vintage and were written for OS 9 (or earlier), and Intel Macs sadly don't support Classic mode. You may have some luck using a Mac emulator (like Sheepshaver), but if I were you I'd give up as it's a lot of grind to get working and probably won't work reliably or quickly enough to play games on. You can probably pick up a vintage Mac that'll run them for next to nothing these days anyway...

  • Old games crashing?

    Hello all,
    I am trying to run my kids old PC games (which also include Mac versions in the same CD) on my iBook. A large number of them, though, crashes frequently while running under classic. Any ideas about what can I do to make them less unstable?
    Thanks!

    Hi, finwhiz, and welcome to Apple Discussions. Whether you can get the games to run stably in Classic mode depends on the design of each individual game. As a class of software, games may be less compatible with Classic mode than any other, because it has been so commonplace for game programmers to play fast and loose with Apple's software design guidelines. Specifically, game programmers have often presumed that a game will have direct access to the hardware of the computer it's running on, to change the display resolution, color depth, audio settings, etc. That may be true when a game runs in OS 9, but it isn't true when the same game runs in Classic: In Classic, only OS X (and the user, through OS X's System Preferences) has access to the hardware and hardware-related settings. A Classic application that tries to adjust the hardware by itself will fail, and if its programmer hasn't given it a graceful alternative (like asking you to make the necessary changes yourself), the game is likely to crash or quit unexpectedly.
    Some old games may be incompatible even with pure OS 9 (without OS X running at all). OS 9 introduced changes with which some old software was not compatible, though most software that ran well in OS 8.6 also ran well in 9.x, and other apps got minor updates for OS 9 compatibility. (I presume you've made sure you have the latest versions of all the games in question.)
    Generally speaking, if a game runs well in pure OS 9.2.2 but not in Classic, you should just start your computer up in OS 9.2.2 (if possible) in order to use it, because it isn't compatible with Classic. If it won't run reliably even when you start the computer up in OS 9.2.2, or if your computer can't start up at all in OS 9.2.2, I recommend running the game in question on an old Mac in whatever OS it seems to like, not on any computer on that has OS X installed.
