PC games on mac

Hello, I'm a new mac user and I was wondering if there was a free way to install my pc version of Aion on my mac. I am not an expert on computers so a detailed description would be best.
Thanks for reading and if you have any input please post

in order to install it you either need a copy of windows installed or the developer has to create a mac version of it

Help me?! graph card problems when trying to play games on mac in wmvare-windows 7

I know that you aren't suppose too play games on mac. But I bought a iMac 27"
Processor 3,5 GHz Intel Core i7
Minne 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Grafik NVIDIA GeForce GTX 775M 2048 MB
and I installed wmvare and windows 7 so I could do gameplays for my YouTube channel on PC games. I didn't boot because I were insecure but anyways. I installed wmvare and windows 7 sucesfully but then when I were going too try too run the game Black Ops 2 in steam it poped up a message that told me
"DirectX encountered an unrecoverable error. Check the readme for possible solutions." So I sat for hours trying too understand what the problem was, trying to update DirectX with more. Since I already had the latest DirectX that wasent the problem. And finaly I found the sulution. There were some problem with the grapich card so I needed too upgrade the grapich card. Well ofcourse NIVIDIA didn't have any driver for the GTX 775M grapich card. I checked here https://discussions.apple.com/message/24065327#24065327 and used the link that took me to were I could dowload the drivers. When the dowloading were done and I started the system check after a while it stoped and told me that the NVIDIA installation coulden't go on. Becuase this graphics routine could not find any compatible graphics hardware. So what is the sulution? Because I am not going (I have already put so much money on this) pay more for this too work so as ordering new stuff like a driver, another grapich card or anything lika that I dont want to boot my computer but if I must I perhaps will do it just if I dont need to pay for another windows 7. So I want a awnser were I can and how I can dowload the drivers so that I can play games on my mac for exampel; Black Ops 2, Battelfield 3/4, The Forest, Day Z. Would be greatfull for awnsers that have a sulution!!!!

Okey, so when I was going too boot my computer it works good untill half the way thruh when boot campassistant is going too dowload the latest windows assistant it says "This computer can just do windows 7" then I press next after a few seconds it says "Can't dowload files because the server is busy" (this was just from my memory it may have been somthing else, but it is pretty much what it said). So how do I fix this, the easiest thing too just press a few buttons and choose a ISO image and the it can't even proseed to the pratipation....

Use the Migration Assistant(it'll put the data into a different user account if you've already created one), or drag them and their data through Ethernet, wireless, Target Disk mode, or through an external drive, or reinstall them from the original source.

Why are there so few games for Mac OS X?

Yes, I do know the answer, because everybody writes software for Windows.
But aren't we at a point where times are changing? Many people exchange their PC's for a Mac nowadays, and the number of Linux (which is basically the same under the hood) is rapidly growing too. Those people like to play games too, don't they?
Does anyone see some light in the distance for companies porting their games to the Mac too?

Agreed. You have to remember everything is drive by economics in our capitalistic society so games are written for the OS that has largest market penetration and most likely to return huge profit and currently that is Windows. That is also why one of the most famous game programmers, John Carmack, just recently rewrote some of his games for iPhone/ipod touch and made quite a nice profit from his own account.
"Carmack said that there was a lot of "hand wringing" initially over the idea of spending the company's own money (there was no publisher to help fund development) on making games for the iPhone. Doom Resurrection, when it hit, was probably the most expensive game to develop for the iPhone, Carmack says.
"It did really well for us," he said. "It was Wolfenstein Classic that made the argument for iPhone development for me. We made quite a bit of money off of that."

That is not to say that Mac's can't be used as game machines since Apple actually has a webpage dedicated exactly to this you can check out:
http://www.apple.com/games/hardware/
So in a nutshell to answer the OP question the reason you see fewer games on mac's is because it's not profitable. As you can see if there is no technical limitations writing games like Doom3 for iphone there is none for the mac.
I know I've personally not bought a macosx game since I also have a pc and use that for games so I'm not helping the business case for more games for mac. Vote with your pocket and go out and buy more mac only games if you want to see more for the mac.

Software and games for mac os 9.1

i been Google searching software and games for mac os 9.1 but i cant find software and games for mac os 9.1? dose anyone know a website to get software and games for mac os 9 only
thinks mac os x 10.2.8 :]

You might check the computer software section at a local Half-Price Books store, sometimes they have some new in-box Mac OS 9 software.
Some kid games that I used to have were Freddi Fish, Pajama Sam, and the Backyard Sports series from Humongous Entertainment, they run pretty well on an old G3.
Pangea had a demo version of Nanosaur:

Freeverse has a link to the original version of Wingnuts that should work in OS 9 on this page

Are there online sites that have safe free games for mac? for downloading?

new to apple and just bought a mac. are there online sites that are safe for downloading free games for mac?

You have posted in the iMac(PPC) forum which is hardware that Apple stopped selling in early 2006. So unless the your new Mac is a very old one then you have probably posted in the wrong forum.
Please clarify which Mac you have?
Please tell us which verion of OS X your Mac is running?

Please test after taking each of the following steps that you haven't already tried. Stop when the problem is resolved. Back up all data before making any changes.
Step 1
Rebuild the Spotlight index. If you try to search now from the magnifying-glass icon in the top right corner of the display, there will be an indication that indexing is in progress.
Step 2
Unlock the Network preference pane, if necessary, by clicking the lock icon in the lower left corner and entering your password. Cllck Advanced, open the DNS tab, and change the server addresses to the following:
8.8.8.8
8.8.4.4
That's Google DNS. Click OK, then Apply.

Hi, cgeuss1621 -
...i guess the page is gone.
The link to the bungie site worked for me. Here's the supplemental page for it for the downloads -

...i was wondering if it would be possible to run marathon on snow leopard or if you can it off the disc
No OS 9 program can be run directly in any version of OSX. OSX 10.4 and earlier can use OS 9 as Classic, which provides an environment in which many OS 9 programs can be run; however, any program which needs direct access to the machine's hardware (such as many games do) will not run well, if at all, in Classic.
Both Snow Leopard and Leopard do not support Classic at all.

When using flash player for games, the mac runs real slow

When using flash player for games, the mac runs real slow. It's also not the fastest at anything. Can I do anything to speed stuff up ?????

Have no clue. You provided no details and your system profile is blank.
Which os are you using?
How are you connected to the internet?
Have you contacted your isp to make sure the slowness is not coming from their end?
Max out your ram.
How large is your hard drive and how much hard drive space do you have left?
You you using the latest version of Adobe Flash?
Please describe in detail all you have attempted to do in order to resolve the issue.

How do i play windows games on mac?

its probably a simple software install or something but i do not know, and are new to the apple computer system. i have a macbook pro that i just bought and i didnt realize half of the games on my steam wernt mac compatable, thanks

You have two options. You'll need to install windows either way but you can go about this two ways. The built in windows system is called BootCamp. It would partition your harddrive into two pieces. A windows part and a mac part. You would need to restart the computer each time you want to switch back and forth.
The other option is to use virtualization software like Parallels or VMware Fusion. This would make it so you can open windows programs while still having the mac os running. This may be slower however because both operating systems would be running at the same time.
Whichever option you choose you will need a copy of windows 7 or whatever version of windows you want to use.
If you want to go the bootcamp route do a spotlight search for BootCamp Assistant and follow the instructions. If you want to use parallels or vmware fusion you'll have to download them from their sites.

Chess game in Mac OS X is there a bug fix for it

This is not a major issue but I have noticed it on all the Apple computers I have played the Chess game that comes with the Mac OS X and it seems to only involve the Pawn making an illegal move when capturing another piece. As we all know the Pawn can only capture by one space in a diagol move yet the Mac OS X supplied Chess game a Pawn will and can often capture an opponents piece that is directly next to it, yet still moves in diagnol fashion and for the same token this illegal move can is sometimes offered to me if I ask for a move hint. This is very frustrating as I play the supplied chess game often is there a fix for this bug

Hello again Daniel...
I found a thread where "cornelius" suggested corrupt preferences as a potential cause for Chess problems...
His solution was to go to your Home > Library > Preferences and drag your com.apple.Chess.plist to the DeskTop and Restart your computer and reopen the Chess game...see the link

Games for mac

Hi,
I'm not sure where to post this, but I'd like to find an upgraded game called Descent. I have an old version that only works with OS9. I had alot of fun playing it before I had 3 kids!!! Now that my kids are older, I'd like to play it on a newer mac. any help locating a version that will work on either a PM or intel imac.
John

Hi John,
I don't think that you will find an OSX upgrade version of Descent.
But try a search on MacUpdate (http://www.macupdate.com/macintel.php) for a freeware version of it.
Haven't tried it but maybe it helps to quench your thirst...
Have Fun
Stefan

Games from Mac to ATV via Airplay

Hello. Why is it not possible to play games from my Macbook pro (Mountain Lion) with ATV (3rd generation) via Airplay mirroring? I can mirror my desk top and watch movies and online video streams with no problem but games lag terribly. On the Macbook screen they run flawlessly but freeze and stutter on the ATV. I have tried this connected via ethernet as well as wirelessly and the result is the same. If ATV is just mirroring the screen of my Mac then surely it shouldn't matter what the source of the signal is?

playing a game have a hard demand on the cpu, and video card
mirroring have a hard demand on the cpu and video card
playing a movie don't have that hard demand on the cpu and the video card
just showing the desktop don't have that hard demand on the cpu and the video card
you're doing 2 things at once which put preasure on your computer hardware this cause lag
if you want to play games on the tv screen using a cable is the best path
