Game Question - Fallout 1 and 2

Greetings,

I am curious if the older games from MacPlay and Interplay, Fallout 1 and Fallout 2 are compatible with the Intel based C2D MacBook Pros. I am running OS X 10.4.9.

I downloaded the demo for Fallout 1, but it wouldn't run, but everyone on eBay that sells it says it will run with OS X 10.4.8 and higher, obviously with Rosetta, but I wanted to make sure of this before I pull the trigger and buy it.

MacBook Pro 15" 2.13GHZ C2D 2GB RAM Mac OS X (10.4.9)

Well, the demo was made for OS9, but from the ebay auctions, it says compatible with OX 10.1.4, and as said on MacPaly's site..

Q: What are the System Requirements for Fallout?
A: Fallout requires:

128MB RAM
600MB disk space
Macintosh OS 10.1.4 or later

I'm just curious if it says it will work with OS 10.1.4 "or later" if it would work with 10.4.9.. MacPlay doesn't support the game anymore unfortunately..

I wouldn't believe that. If the game supports OS X, the demo should too. Even if MacPlay doesn't support it anymore, they should still be able to answer compatibility questions.

One more thing...if you have an Intel processor, even if the game does support OS X, it may not run under Rosetta.

If the demo doesn't work, I wouldn't bet on the full version. Talk to the folks who developed the game. They may be able to provide more suggestions.

I bought both games, and they work fine.
