Q: Can someone please tell me if red faction 1 on Mac PowerPC allows you to play with bots ?

The Windows version with humans is too hard. I don't want to buy a Mac PowerPC just to test it

    Only apparently in Bootcamp or PC emulation on an intel Mac if this is it...

    there is an actual Mac version of the game which does not work on MacBooks or modern macs but only old macs that are powerpcs that use a Motorola processor. I want to know if the Mac version of the game allows you to play with bots. The Windows version of the game does not

    The odds of someone knowing that answer here after so long are astronomically low. Not a lot of big-time gamers here in the first place.

     

    The original Mac version of Red Faction was released by Graphics Simulation ( http://www.graphsim.com/ ). Today they do only one iOS game but, if you are serious in finding an answer, I would contact their current support people to see if any old greybreads still there remember how RF behaves on the Mac.

     

    Have you searched for fan sites?  A lot of discontinued games have them. I just searched "red faction fan site" and got a lot of fan site hits. Google is a better friend than the Apple forums for this question.
