There is no "Registry" on the Mac. There are only a few places you need to delete applications fully if they don't have their own uninstaller.

There are some commercial and free uninstaller applications if you search around the net. But DO look to make sure you know what they are deleting for you, their not perfect, some good some not as good.

Delete the application from the Application folder.

In this next area be careful when you delete these, as some software company's put ALL their support files form all of their different applications into the same folder some times. So if you have a couple of games or applications from thesame company and you want to delete one of them then look inside that folder to make sure BOTH applications aren't in there. You can just delete the one you want.

Your HD/ Users folder/ "Your Name"folder (active home folder, the icon that looks like a house with your name under it)/ Library/ Application Support/ look for the name of the application you want to delete and delete that folder only (look inside first).

Also look in the Library/ Preferences folder while your there and delete the named file/folder of the application your deleting. (look inside first)

Tho these usually are only a few kb in size, "Spore" for one, stores some core game files there, 1.4Gigs worth!
