Best Free Games For Both Windows And Mac

The best way to run Windows on your Mac. But not both. And while VirtualBox is free, setting it up is complicated—downright geeky, at times—and it lacks some bells and whistles you might.

Best Free Games For Both Windows And Mac 10

  • Ha ha, now that is funny...while there are some companies that write MMO's for both PC and Mac, CCP is an example, none of the free ones do. Good reason for that, most of the free games come out of Korea and China and Macs are quite rare in those countries. So chances that one of these free companies will fund a mac client are slim and none.

    Nothing wrong with a Mac, but if you want to play games you buy a PC.

    Except for their blatant monopolistic attitude (which is only allowed because they are the little guy). Let's face it, they only restrict their operating system to their computers so that they can sell us over priced hardware. Imagine the outrage if Microsoft did that.

    I'd hate them much less if they openly allowed people to buy computers to meet specifications to run their operation system.

  • Oh well, I guess the one friend in our group will have to get a PC or a parallel. See, he's sort of the scholarly type... not really but he doesn't need the entertainment of a PC to the full extent.

    So he can't play much games with us.

  • Dofus will work on a Mac, but I have no idea if you'll like it. I would guess not, but you might.

    Also, if he has bootcamp, and he most likely does, then he can install Windows on his Mac and run PC games. That'll open up a whole world of free MMOs you can choose from.

    Current: None
    Played: WoW, CoX, SWG, LotRO, EVE, AoC, VG, CO, Ryzom, DF, WAR
    Tried: Lineage2, Dofus, EQ2, CoS, FE, UO, Wurm, Wakfu
    Future: The Repopulation, ArcheAge, Black Desert, EQN

  • Tell your friend to use bootcamp (should be free with the most recent versions of OS X). I set it up for my friend and his girl, and it works perfectly. No problems at all.

    Why even use a Mac if you run Windows on it?

    Exact same reason I hate them. I would go as far as to buy OS X and install it on my PC if Apple would loosen their iron fist. No chance in hell I would buy over priced hardware just to use a BSD based OS.

    So the light up apple on the back of your laptop can declare to the world how unique and special you are while you uniquely surf the web and charismatically check your email in the local coffee shop.

    You run both Mac and Windows on it. Mac so you don't have to deal with Windows while you work. Windows for the occasional PC game you want to play.
