The Mac has plenty of games, but it'll always get the short end of the stick compared to Windows. If you want to play the latest games on your Mac, you have no choice but to install Windows .. or do you?

There are a few ways you can play Windows games on your Mac without having to dedicate a partition to Boot Camp or giving away vast amounts of hard drive space to a virtual machine app like VMWare Fusion or Parallels Desktop. Here are a few other options for playing Windows games on your Mac without the hassle or expense of having to install Windows.

May 18, 2011  Old game, still a classic, real fun! So, I own the PC copy of the game. But now I own a Mac, and don't want to bother with Boot Camp just to play some games. So, my question is, will the CD key for the PC version of Halo work for the Mac version? I don't want to buy Parallels/VMware because. Mar 20, 2020  Our favorite Free Mac games.

Jul 05, 2017  DOSBox: DOSBox is the ideal way to run old DOS applications and games on Windows, Mac OS X, or Linux. DOSBox won’t help you run Windows games at all, but it will allow you to run PC games written for DOS PCs before Windows existed. Games are becoming more cross-platform all the time. Valve’s SteamOS helps here, too.

GeForce Now

PC gaming on Mac? Yes you can, thanks to Nvidia's GeForce Now. The service allows users to play PC games from Steam or Battle.net on macOS devices. Better still, the graphic power of these games resides on Nvidia's servers. The biggest drawback: the service remains in beta, and there's been no announcement when the first full release is coming or what a monthly subscription will cost.

For now, at least, the service is free to try and enjoy. All supported GeForce NOW titles work on Macs, and yes, there are plenty of them already available!

The Wine Project

The Mac isn't the only computer whose users have wanted to run software designed for Windows. More than 20 years ago, a project was started to enable Windows software to work on POSIX-compliant operating systems like Linux. It's called The Wine Project, and the effort continues to this day. OS X is POSIX-compliant, too (it's Unix underneath all of Apple's gleam, after all), so Wine will run on the Mac also.

Wine is a recursive acronym that stands for Wine Is Not an Emulator. It's been around the Unix world for a very long time, and because OS X is a Unix-based operating system, it works on the Mac too.

As the name suggests, Wine isn't an emulator. The easiest way to think about it is as a compatibility layer that translates Windows Application Programming Interface (API) calls into something that the Mac can understand. So when a game says 'draw a square on the screen,' the Mac does what it's told.

You can use straight-up Wine if you're technically minded. It isn't for the faint of heart, although there are instructions online, and some kind souls have set up tutorials, which you can find using Google. Wine doesn't work with all games, so your best bet is for you to start searching for which games you'd like to play and whether anyone has instructions to get it working on the Mac using Wine.

Note: At the time of this writing, The Wine Project does not support macOS 10.15 Catalina.

CrossOver Mac

CodeWeavers took some of the sting out of Wine by making a Wine-derived app called CrossOver Mac. CrossOver Mac is Wine with specialized Mac support. Like Wine, it's a Windows compatibility layer for the Mac that enables some games to run.

CodeWeavers has modified the source code to Wine, made some improvements to configuration to make it easier, and provided support for their product, so you shouldn't be out in the cold if you have trouble getting things to run.

My experience with CrossOver — like Wine — is somewhat hit or miss. Its list of actual supported games is pretty small. Many other unsupported games do, in fact work — the CrossOver community has many notes about what to do or how to get them to work, which are referenced by the installation program. Still, if you're more comfortable with an app that's supported by a company, CrossOver may be worth a try. What's more, a free trial is available for download, so you won't be on the hook to pay anything to give it a shot.

Boxer

If you're an old-school gamer and have a hankering to play DOS-based PC games on your Mac, you may have good luck with Boxer. Boxer is a straight-up emulator designed especially for the Mac, which makes it possible to run DOS games without having to do any configuring, installing extra software, or messing around in the Mac Terminal app.

With Boxer, you can drag and drop CD-ROMs (or disk images) from the DOS games you'd like to play. It also wraps them into self-contained 'game boxes' to make them easy to play in the future and gives you a clean interface to find the games you have installed.

Boxer is built using DOSBox, a DOS emulation project that gets a lot of use over at GOG.com, a commercial game download service that houses hundreds of older PC games that work with the Mac. So if you've ever downloaded a GOG.com game that works using DOSBox, you'll have a basic idea of what to expect.

Some final thoughts

In the end, programs like the ones listed above aren't the most reliable way to play Windows games on your Mac, but they do give you an option.

Of course, another option is to run Windows on your Mac, via BootCamp or a virtual machine, which takes a little know-how and a lot of memory space on your Mac's hard drive.

Another day, another iPhone 12 Pro concept. How much would you pay?

If reports are accurate we might be waiting a little while longer than normal for iPhone 12 Pro. But would you care if it looked like this?

Sunny Boom is a fun brain-teasing physics puzzle game for children and teens based on the law of gravity. It is night time, but the naughty Sun just won’t go down. You have to use your precision, timing and logic skills to arrange and throw the necessary objects (wooden planks, bombs, wagon wheels, swings and springs) so that the Sun can 'set' (exit the game screen). You will need to build ramps, bounce heavy items off springs, and blast stubborn obstacles out of the way. If you succeed, the Sun goes boom-boom-boom and falls down the exit, and the Moon comes out. Can you help normality be restored? Go Night Owl, get your thinking cap on!

How to Play: There are 25 levels to enjoy. Use your computer mouse to Left Click on the “Play” icon, then click on the “1” icon to start at level one. The Sun is located in the sky at the top of your game screen. Work out what sequence of events need to occur in order to remove all of the obstacles, and force the stubborn Sun down to the exit located at the bottom of the screen. When the exit path is cleared, the Sun will set downward from the sky (It rolls or falls with gravity). Left Click on the green planks, bombs, wheels, swings and springs to move them into place (once you click on them, they change color and cannot be moved again). More obstacles, levers and swings are introduced in the advanced levels. Have fun!

Tip: If you get stuck, or have put an object in the wrong place, click the “Restart” icon in the top right corner of your screen.

If this Flash-based game no longer works on IE11 on your PC / MAC, try playing on Chrome or Firefox browser.
