Hi all, as the title hints, I'm looking for some cool games that will run on my macbook pro. I have made the switch to mac almost two months ago and I really love OS X, so that's why I hate having to go back to windows for gaming. So before I go and set up bootcamp, I would like to know if some of you guys have some good tips for gaming. At the moment I only have WoW.
The kind of games I'm looking for are more in the management / simulation / rts genre. It can be either freeware or commercial software.

To give you an idea of my tastes, here's what I run under windows at the moment:
Chart Wars (http://www.osirisgames.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=2&id=8&Itemid=25) (freeware, manage a record label)
Evil Genius (http://howevilareyou.com/us/) (commercial, simulation/base building, very original)

And I've been thinking to give Civ4 and Rollercoaster Tycoon 3 a chance.

So that gives you an idea, I hope to discover some good games in here. (if there are any ;) )

Im just getting into Age of Empires 3. Really good.

Command and Conquer Zero Hour is also good.

Rollercoaster Tycoon is a good laugh but rarely go on it.

Tropico, although quite old is still quite fun.

And Railroad Tycoon 3 I have started messing with again.

All on my Mac.

Sketchfighter (http://www.ambrosiasw.com/games/sketchfighter/) is the best game on the mac....maybe the best game right now on any platform...
