Windows Version of StarCraft Broodwar on Mac

I was able to install the first StarCraft onto my iMac and it was the Windows version. Now i tried downloading another Patch to allow me to install StarCraft Broodwar but so far i must have not found the correct one. My question is, if anyone knows where i can get the correct patch to install StarCraft BroodWar?

iMac (iSight), Mac OS X (10.4.11), 250GB HD-2.16 GHZ-2GB RAM-17"/5th Gen 80GB iPod

When i went to the link you gave me and downloaded the latest patch in 2008. It still wont let me install Broodwar, when i go into the folder it has the installer with a circle and a line through it. So it wont let me install it.

Anyone have any ideas?

I had the same problem. On OSX, Broodwar is a separate game, and can't be installed into the same directory as Starcraft Classic.

To install Broodwar, use the native installer. It should have an option there for Broodwar. The installer will ask for the Starcraft CD during install.

If you want both Broodwar and Starcraft Classic, you will need to install them into different directories.

FYI: There is a bug in the OS (it seems), that prevents either game (or Diablo II) from working on the latest Penryn MacbookPros. The game will immediately exit.
