It wasnt perfect, especially for games, but it worked for the most part. It wont run natively on OSX, and todays Macintosh computers cant run OS 9.īasically, when Mac OS X came out, Apple had a feature called Classic that would essentially run Mac OS 9-compatible apps in a compatibility environment within OS X.
Heroes is a Mac Classic game (from the OS 7.59 days). If you are going to recommend this option (which does seem to be the most viable option if the OP REALLY needs to play this game) then you should disclose all the costs involved rather than just tell him to simply install Windows and Parallels like its all freeware. Whilst a Mac today is still a Macintosh, when you see that name it normally refers to the old style Macs of the 90s which ran a completely different operating system to now.ĭont forget you have to pay for Parallels and VMware, theyre close to 100.00, then you have to pay for a Windows license which is not cheap for everyone. Or keep an old Windows box lying around for that purpose (any old heap will run that game since its old). The easiest way to do it would to simply install Windows onto your Mac as well as OS X (via Bootcamp, VMWare, Parallels). This ran fine on OS X under PPC until Intel and Leopard which dropped the Classic environment (not sure if Intel- Tiger still had it). It might be easier to install Parallels and run in Windows than try to get one of these unsupported emulators running, but I dont know. Ive heard that there are some emulators that will let you run older games on OSX, but I have never tried them. So I was wondering, if I was to get my hands on a Macintosh version of the game, is there some way I can play that on Mac OS X (as I believe Macintosh games wont normally work on Mac OS X, right) Through some kind of program perhaps or something Or if Ill have to use boot campparallels etc. This game is available (obviously) on PC, but also available for Macintosh.
