Is there any way to play PC games on Mac computers?

• Answer:

  There are a few different options. First, see if the company offers a Mac version of the game. Any halfway decent company will. But if they don't, you can use Virtual PC. Some people, though, complain that Virtual PC is too slow, especially for games with a lot of graphics. If you have this problem, and you have one of the new Intel Macs, you can actually install Windows on the Mac without an emulator using "Boot Camp" (this is a new beta service from Apple). You will need a computer with an Intel processor, not PowerPC. If you don't have an Intel Mac, you can get one from Apple directly. A new, experimental method of using games and other Windows applications on Intel Macs is offered by CodeWeavers. The software is called CrossOver Mac.
