I'm not to macs and i'm a big gamer for the PC. I was wanting to get a
game for my ibook. My question is...do mac versions usually come with
regular game software? Such as Warcraft3 or other games. In the box is
it for PC and Mac, or do you have to buy a Mac version somewhere?
Thanks

Well if it's WC3 then your in luck.
Blizzard is a great company that supplies both Mac and PC versions in
the retail boxes :-) on the same CD.

Derrick...

How WC3 performs on the iBook is another matter, and depends upon the
type of iBook you have.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

Rarely if ever do you see a dual-platform box. *

shame, but it's ok here. Our iBook is the 700mhz model with max'd out
ram.. maybe it's the ram that does it? (esp with osx!)
?

Then again, who cares! i'll have the G5 next week!!! ;-)<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

It depends on the individual product. Check the packaging for system
requirements or do what most mac users do - buy online from Mac
specialist online mail order places, e.g. <http://www.mac-o-rama.com/>.

I have plenty O Ram, but less Mhz. OSX bites, IMHO.
I never liked the game much in the first place...
too many spells and crap to remember. Myth 1&2
were much better games. Too bad Bungie sold
thier soul to the devil and all that.
