Games for iBook

I haven't got my iBook yet, but I was looking at games on the internet (like Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy) and I've only seen ones for Windows. Do they not make them for Mac? Could I still use the Windows one? What are some good sites that has a variety of games for Mac's?

sorry ,I don't know the game you refering to.But I have some suggetions for you.
Here they are.
The first and most interesting game I play on my ibook is AIRBURST. It is very simple as many games for mac, but very time-consuming, I promise you.

And here is another, Feeding Frenzy.it is more simple than the one above. In exactly ,just use your mouse, and move it,and that's all! But it is very very interesting.

and if you're interested in other games such as Warcraft Word, and Starcraft, etc.I have no advice for you, forgive me.Because I don't have time to play them.

ok, well, I think my answer is of any help to you.Oh, sorry to mention that, I use an ibook 12, too.

Often games like that are not made for the mac. The PC version will not work (exception: you can buy Virtual PC, which lets you run Windows on your mac, but it's slow).

Many of the bigger budget games do come out on the mac. If you're into paying for games, Aspyr releases a lot of games for the mac, as do Ambrosia SW and Freeverse. Macupdate and apple.com both have games download areas for little shareware/freeware games. If you're looking for an addictive turn-based strategy game, one of my favorites is The Battle for Wesnoth.

Apple actual have a page where you can see many games for mac. But I don't know if it is like a "total" list, with all games available for mac, or some of them.

I would recommend playing games on Virtual PC (or any other emulation software) because it already gets problems running google earth.

But you will have to buy new games for your mac, as PC versions will not work on mac. An unfortunately the mac version is often a bit more expensive than the PC version.

You can also go to Apple Games to find an ENORMOUS list of games for Mac.

When using your Mac, if you go to Gamehouse it shows you all the Mac version games only. I thought that was nice of them to detect your system somehow and show you only Mac compatible.

There is also Inside Mac Games and Mac Game Database and Mac Game FIles.

If you Google Mac games, you'll find all these results and more. Happy hunting (from a fellow gamer!)
