Possibly, but it's inadvisable for several reasons (Note that I am researching this information via internet rather than personal experience). The most obvious is hardware constraints: you are running an operating system that is running another operating system that is running a game, so speed will be hampered considerably. Compatibility is also a problem: Parallels, like any emulator, has its flaws. These are naturally aggravated when dealing with complex graphical operations. Bottom line is, games generally require absolute control of your machine in order to run properly for both performance and stability reasons, and Parallels doesn't provide that kind of environment. Therefore, it's probably a bad idea to run games with Parallels and XP. Speaking of performance and stability... for the love of God, don't try this with Vista.

How do you play PlayStation or PS2 games on a PC?

First of all, yes you CAN play PlayStation games on your PC. There are many emulators (programs that mimic the function of other systems) on the Internets. The most popular one and the one I personally use is epsxe170.Now, before you get all excited. These are some warnings about emulations. You are only legally allowed to use emulation if you:1. Own the system that you are emulating (i.e. a ps1, game-boy advance, N64, etc.)2. Own the game that you are playing on your playing on your PC ( i.e FF tactics, banjo kazooie etc.)People do play these games anyway but this is just for anyone who cares about such a thing. Click on the related link below for a detailed walk through (with pictures) of how to get and install the PA emulator. Please also keep in mind that you may subject to legal issues if you are caught downloading illegal material off the Internet or found under possession of them, be it hardware or software.As for PS2 emulation, it is possible. The graphics card is extremely important for getting the best performance. If you can sustain good FPS on games like Crysis, Call of Duty and Oblivion at decent settings, chances are that you'll have more than enough power to play most PS2 games at full speed. The latest mid-range GPUs are always a good choice and will last you a few years down the road.------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------YES.... You can run PS2/3 games and PSP games on your PC or Mac......Just download the correct VGS version....... This is free you can get it from google....ENJOY......You can download from torrent sites also....Download | Install | And Feel realy 3D Depth of the Sony PS or PSP Games....But remember configure your graphic card firstly.......

Could one download the game Skyrim to a MAC computer running OSX?

Not until they make a Mac version unfortunately. Don't forget you can install Windows on the Mac now with Boot Camp and still play Windows games. You just have to boot into Windows when you want to use any Windows games or applications. There's also Parallels, VMWare, etc, where you can have a virtual copy and not have to reboot but it's mainly used for low to medium applications as it shares the computers hardware.
