I enjoy playing games with my friends but this gets old in a hurry. I have a mac (Yeah ha ha. Don't like it then bite me.) But why is it these games are never processed for mac availability? I mean I understand the concept of a niche market but the indignation to these things are. THEY ARE ALL FREE. It's really annoying to have to spend AT LEAST an extra 1 or 2g extra just to play something free? Am I the only one who sees the irony in this?

Because God hates Macs, and they blow for gaming.

The people who developed this are in Korea, so if you have an issue, go talk to them about it. We can't do anything but accept what they do, and for now they only let us play Fiesta on Windows computers.

Well Biski says it is possible to play them on macs, but it seems to be common place that not all games support Mac software. I myself do not have much knowledge in the "Computer Type" subject sadly. So I'm sorry if it seems I'm intruding on your thread.

Outspark does not officially support our software on Macintosh computers, but it is possible to run both Secret of the Solstice and Fiesta through Apple's boot camp software:

I have been able to do so successfully on both a MacBook and iMac.
Boot Camp is a feature of the Leopard operating system, which ships with all new Macs. You can also purchase it as an upgrade for an older system.

There are some really good windows emulators for the Mac (Such as "PC for the Mac"). Apple systems are not really designed for gaming though. I doubt this game would give you much trouble on your mac, but some of the higher end games can be sketchy.

I have both types and I love my Mac for rendering graphics and watching movies, but gaming... forget it.

That said, so long as you enjoy your Mac but want to continue to play PC games, you might consider the emulator. I know there are some free one's out there, but I only have experience with the fee-based kind.
