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.

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? – 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.
