How do you exit a game from full screen mode when the game has crashed?

Hey there

There has seriously got to be a better way of exiting a crashed game than just turning the power off.

I sometimes play Sims 3 on my mac, and we all know that Sims 3 is the most poorly coded game out there, so it crashes a lot. I don't understand how you can get out of the full screen without switching the machine off the wrong way.

I have tried every single keyboard command people say to exit full screen mode, but they don't work when the game has crashed! In fact pressed every single button on the keyboard to try and exit, but nothing works.

On Windows it's so simple, you press the start button on the keyboard, but on a mac it doesnt work.

So any help to what i can do?

Thanks
