I have some games that came with a MAC computer. If seems
they will only work on MAC computers. What I want to know
is...can these games be somehow turned around in function
so that they will work on a Windows XP computer? If so
how? Thanks.
 
Hi jah711,

Sorry, the format is too different to be able to play MAC
games on a PC, or likewise, PC games on a MAC. :-s

What version of Mac OS are they for?

You can "in theory" use PearPC (http://pearpc.sourceforge.net/index.html),
however you will have to buy a version of Mac OS if you don't already have
one, which will work out far more expensive then just buying the Win32
versions of the games (they probably do exist). Speed will also be a major
issue and setting all this up would be very time consuming and if done wrong
could result in you having to re-install Windows on your machine, so only do
it if you have a good idea of what you're doing.

No. It's like asking if you can plug your phone cord into a power outlet.
Won't fit, won't work, don't try it.
