Does It Play On a Mac? – Deus Ex

For this episode, I check out Deus Ex, the classic game combining RPG elements with a first-person shooter set against a story touching on many major American conspiracies.

Does It Play On a Mac? – Daggerfall

After a short break to update some equipment I tackle Daggerfall, the 1996 chapter of the Elder Scrolls series recently released by Bethesda as a free and legal download.

Does It Play On a Mac? – Command & Conquer and Red Alert

For the first time, I look at a game suggested by one of my viewers. Not only are both of these games classics that helped popularize the real-time strategy genre, but they are now also both free to download as legal DRM-free ISO images.

Does It Play On a Mac? – S.T.A.L.K.E.R.

Time for something more recent. I look at what it takes to get the Mac to run S.T.A.L.K.E.R., an open-world, first-person shooter from 2007.

Does It Play On a Mac? – Jedi Knight

This video finds out if the Mac can handle the first-person lightsaber action of Dark Forces II: Jedi Knight.

Does It Play On a Mac? – The Neverhood

In contrast to all the dark, bloody games I’ve covered previously, this installment attempts a bright, quirky, all-clay animated point-and-click adventure game from 1996. Can the Mac handle the over three tons of clay it took to create The Neverhood?

Does It Play On a Mac? – Nightmare Creatures

In this episode I look at the 3rd person action-horror game “Nightmare Creatures”, set in gothic London in the 1800′s. Can the MacBook Pro and Crossover Games handle the horror?

Does It Play On a Mac? – Blood

For this installment, I am attempting the 1997 horror-FPS from Monolith, “Blood”.

Does It Play On a Mac? – Carmageddon II

In what should be an ongoing series, I look at how various Windows games do or do not run on the Mac. I don’t plan to take too long for any one game, and I will not be using Bootcamp, Windows, or a separate partition if I can help it. The whole idea is to see if these games can be run with as little hassle as possible. For this one I’m using the 1998 racer Carmageddon II.

Picked up MSI Wind More to come

I picked up an MSI Wind today.  I needed a more portable solution than my Macbook Pro 17″.   (I still plan to get the unibody one when it comes out)  I still plan to get a Vaio P-Series at some point, you just can’t beat the screen res and size of that thing.

I started playing around with it, am working on putting OSX on it.  I was going to go the MSIWindOSX86.iso method but I like clean installs.  So, I am working on methodology that allows me to do full vanilla updates etc.

If it doesn’t frustrate the hell out of me, I’ll do a write up and video on what I did

If it doesn’t work well enough, linux baby!
