Hey everyone, I just learned about GOG on G4 and a lot of the games are what I used to play.
I was wondering if they are compatible on Macbook Pros, the newest version of them.
I just bought mine a few weeks ago, and I don't want to go buying games that I won't be able to play.
Thank you.

Beautiful GOG games
Retro gaming at its finest
Windows only

Well that's just ridiculous, macbooks are becoming more and more popular.
I have all the visual card and mechanics needed to run any of the games they have on here.
I'm just saying the Mac owners deserve to have the same gaming experience with their computer as anyone else has.
Also, I had a trial version of MDK 2 on my old old imac.
so why not let them be used on the new versions of mac that can actually handle the games?

I am sure the Mac could run some of the games here. As to which ones, not the slightest idea. Worst case you could always use bootcamp and run them from that.
Edit: Did a little research for you and booting Linux is possible in a Mac, http://lowendmac.com/mac2win/08m2w/triple-boot-mac.html. Reason I bring this up is because it is free and the people in this thread , http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/gog_games_that_are_working_fine_with_linux_wine/_/1/search/linux , have put a list together of games that work on Linux.

I will give a simple response to this so you don't get barrels of anti Mac rhetoric thrown at you.
Dual Boot option!
USE Bootcamp
Install Windows 7
I had a MacBook Pro for almost two years, I sold it January 09, I used Bootcamp on it, sure it had problems, but overall Bootcamp to play GOG games is a great experience.
If you don't fancy that, then buy a PC Netbook on the cheap for 300-600 dollars that will run everything on here.
No platform is entitled to anything, it is Apple's job to entice developers to support their platform, just like Sony or Microsoft does to entice dev's to make games for Xbox or PS3.
It's never healthy to feel entitled or "demand" that a service revolve around your tech situation.
I hope that helps and keeps some of the Mac haters away.

We have had numerous discussions about the how's and why's of not supporting Macs and Linux (in fact, there is one going on right now) long story short, GOG is new and still small, many of these games do not have existing Mac ports, there aren't enough Mac gamers to warrant the expense of porting and supporting games for Mac and at least some of the publishers are not willing to give GOG the freedom to port the games anyway.

It's not the hardware, it's the software.
And GOG didn't program the games, no need to get indignant at them for the native OS the developers chose. It's hard enough to get these things running on new versions of windows...
That said, try boot camp.

Even if 15% of computer users are Mac/Linux, how many of those are gamers? Out of the gamers how many of those won't install windows to play games? Out of Mac/Linux gamers that won't install windows to game, how many of those will actually purchase the games?
Every Mac user that I personally know runs windows to play games.
It just doesn't make fiscal sense for a small company like GOG to bother trying to support such a small subset of a small set of people to begin with.
In fact I'd say it doesn't make sense for any company to do it.
If you want to game on a mac, just dualboot it or use something like Fusion
Yes more Macs are being sold, and the hardware is nice. The nicest thing about it for gamers? The fact that it can run Windows.

Got to agree with the Duel boot, every Macbook Pro user I know (Three of dems) all have installed Vista to play Windows games.
Also I have to agree again, I'd rather GOG focus on getting games to work for the PC rather than look at another OS. Just get that partition sorted out! Then you can join in :)

don't rage dude, it's in beta, support for more platforms will exist later on. And also, paralells and whatever and what not have very little issues if any playing most of these games.
If you want to fight for your rights as a gamer, start with knocking on Apple's door, not everyone else.

Duel boot?
You know the law: Two OSes enter... one OS leaves.

Heh, I meant Bootcamp. I've just gotten into the habit of calling it Duel Boot.

Also--and this is not an anti-mac rant--I would say that if you choose to buy a mac, you are making a choice to not game much. It's no secret that it's not their strong point.

You mean, Dual.

NEVER. The Boots must DUEL for superiority!
