Q: How can I run classic Mac games on my Mac, I am running Mac OS X.

I would like to run some of the old educational cds I have but none of them will work on my mac. I am running Mac OS X 10.6.8. I was wondering if anyone out there could post a step by step tutorial to getting old games to run. Thanks very much for any help.

Mac, Mac OS X (10.6.8)

you need an older mac, much older. Those games cant be run on a modern mac.

Check around on the web and the manufacturers websites to see if any of those classic games have been updated or remodified to play on Intel Macs and your os.
