What games do you play on your Mac?

Hello,
How is the privateer remake and what is parallel universe? Is it like privateer 2: the darkening? I remember that game and enjoyed it a lot... and wouldn't mind getting a game like that. I am not a huge gamer anymore so I was just curious.

Privateer remake is really good.. its a remake of Wing Command: Privateer ... the first one, nothing like Priv2.

Parallel Universe is just a mod for it that adds a lot of cool things and ships and such...

Update for me.

As I now have an (old) Windows-based machine in my room at college, there's no longer a need to use Parallels. Now, the games I play or can play on my Mac include:

Ceaser II (1996)
Castle Wolfenstein (1984)
Command and Conquer: Red Alert (1996) - for some reason I really like this.
Doom I (1993)
Doom II (1994)
Hexen (1996) - Doom in medieval times, far as I can tell...
Hexen II: Deathkings of the Dark Citadel (1996)
Quake I (1996) (plus Mission Park I: Scourge of Armageddon and Mission Pack II: Dissolution of Eternity, from 1997)
Sid Meier's Civilization (1991) - primitive!
Sid Meier's Colonization (1994)
Sid Meier's Pirates! Gold Edition (1993)
Sim City (1989)
Sim City 2000 (1993)
Stargunner (1996) - watch out, this one's addictive; love the music.
The Incredible Machine (1993)
The Incredible Machine II (1994)
Warcraft: Orcs and Humans (1994)
Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness (1995)
Wolfenstein 3D (1992) - my dad got me into this. It's on the Centris, too.
Wolfenstein 3D: Spear of Destiny (1992)
Worms Plus Reinforcements (1996) - rather oddly fun.

And that's just what I run through DOSbox emulators.

Still play OpenArena time to time, but the internet here sucks because so many people use it at any given moment, meaning I can almost never play online. :S

Also have Urban Terror, WarSoW, and Tremulous. All free and open-source. All a bit different from Quake III, on which they're based. Don't have Quake III though. It costs money. Not into that.

I play RuneScape sometimes, even. A bit boring, as I've played for nearly 6 years, and there are some compatibility issues with the latest version of Snow Leopard for some reason.

I have a .dmg port of Sid Meier's Civilization III for Mac (by MacSoft), but I think it's designed for Tiger. Lots of runtime issues on Leopard and Snow Leopard and I don't quite know why.

Long enough post. Happy time-killing, all.
 
Am I the only one playing the Mac version of Dragon Age: Origins! No problems for me and loving it.

I was about to get it for my mac, but I had second thoughts. Not sure if it would run smoothly on even low settings on my 9400M video card, so I just bought the 360 version for $25 at gamestop. Runs beautifully :D

I have and am still playing DA:O as well as Awakenings and the DLC's. I just barely finished the Golems DLC (OUCH). This is a great game and on my 24" 2009 iMAC plays very well.

Even my 13" 2010 MBA plays the game well enough for me to enjoy. The fans do run the entire time however.
 
I have a 2.53 MBP. I play it on low with the 9400 smoothly. I can play it on high with the 9600 but I hate the logging out/in thing, so I just play low.

Purchased the Ultimate version from D2D and have had no issues with it yet.
 
Monopoly :D
Wolfenstein Enemy Territory
Tomb Raider Anniversary

Back then: FreeSpace 2 SCP multi.
 
Installed on my Mac:

Diablo II (and Lord of Destruction)
EV: Nova (although haven't played it since I started EVE)
EVE Online
Heroes of Might and Magic V
Master of Orion III
Neverwinter Nights 2
Portal (via Steam)
StarCraft (and Brood War)
StarCraft 2
Supreme Commander 2
WarCraft III (and The Frozen Throne)
 
I like games. Now i am playing Lego Star Wars and World of Warcraft game on my Mac. These games are very interesting. I like these games very much.

On my dock right now:

I have a 17" MBP 2.8 (2009) and I have been playing DA:O quite often since I got it. Mods are a bit of a challenge, but I found some of the installers and tools are simple enough to run via Wine, and have been enjoying all the player-made content you can get for free.
 
How do you guys get all these games for free?

I've been wanting to get some games and i can't find downloads that work.
 
Call of Duty 4
FM 2011
PES 2011 (BC)
Mad Skills Motocross
Chopper 2
Angry Bird :p

Master of Orion III my the biggest gaming disappointment. I tried so much to like it but it's really a bad game.

I am currently playing. Osmos, and Chess in my mac and Victoria 2, Hearts of Iron 3, Team Fortress 2 in the bootcamp.

You can buy them in stores (digital or physical) for money you don't get them for free!

really? to each their own I guess.. I absolutely love it... great game :) sure I micromanage everything and I've had singe games I've played for over a year, but its still fun. Its far from perfect though... there are some 3rd party mods out there that help it a bit too, but I put them on so long ago I'm not sure I remember them all...
