The Only way I know you can play windows games on a mac, is installing bootcamp and installing windows, but there might be a different way
You can also get VMware Fusion , maybe from ThePirateBay , but to get torrents you must have transmission and use a browser other than Safari 4 , Google Chrome or Mozilla Firefox will work , just find an easy download for transmission on Google . Once you have VMware Fusion , insert a Windows 7 / Vista / XP disc into your Mac , or like I said before ; use ThePirateBay . Then open it up , and insert any disc you would wish to install , and you will be able to play it on your Mac !

∙ 13y agoThere are a couple of ways but you still need to have a copy of Windows XP or Windows 7 to use ANY Windows games or programs.
You can use Boot Camp that is part of Apple to Boot into a Window partition or you can buy a "Virtual" installer like Paralells, VMWare, etc, and it you can then use Windows while still in the Mac OS.
If you have one of the later Intel Macs you can use BootCamp to load Windows XP or 7 on a second partition on the hard drive. You then have a full Windows boot-up disk. You can then either boot into the Mac side or the Windows side.
The other way is to use something like VMWare, Paralells, etc, to have a "Virtual" Windows while still in the Mac OS. They make a "virtual" partition and you install Windows as usual and you can then use "most" PC games and software at the same time as you use the Mac. I hear it actually works pretty good and only a few programs that don't work but they are always working on them.

∙ 8y agoYou can't install PC games on a Mac that i know of.
Answer 2:
There are "Emulators" available for MAC that will allow some of the "Windows" programs to run: some are free others are pay software. Be sure and check the software to see if it will run the program you want. Otherwise there is a program called W.I.N.E which lets PC games work on mac and Linux computers.

∙ 12y agoIf you are referring to the mac app store games then no because there is no way you can get the mac app store to run on a PC computer.
Your best chance is to find out if the game was deveolped for PC and download it from the internet.

∙ 10y agoIt is possible to play Mac games on Windows with the help of Mac emulators developed and distributed by different people online. However, these aren't guaranteed to be computer and user-friendly.
