Will Morrowind/Oblivion run on my iMac?

Given that you can buy Morrowmind on Steam, yea it probably will work on your computer. Windows isn't like OSX, you can still run legacy games perfectly. Sometimes you might need to run very old games under DOSbox (dos emulator) but I've never had to and I still play Doom .

They will work fine

Another question about the resolution: I played Morrowind on my dad's PC (w/ tube screen). The highest (native) resolution selectable was 1600 x 1200, full screen. Will I be able to run it full screen on the iMac as well, without any stretching? The iMac's rez is 1920 x 1080, so this might be an issue? Or will it kind of "auto-adjust"?

Thx for the replies.

A quick search in google for 'morrowind widescreen' should provide you with some answers.

But yes morrowind will run fine. There are even some hacks available that let you push out the draw distance so you can see more without all that fog in your face.

What about mods?

I'm sorry, but I had to jump on this thread, as I just bought my first Mac. I should get my new 15" Macbook Pro on Wed and I'm a huge Morrowind fan. I'm thrilled to see that it will run on the Mac, but what about the mods? I have a plethora (yes, I did pull out that 3 Amigos file) of mods and I can't see playing the game without them. Any insight would be helpful.

Also, while I'm at it, on my PC I use a program called "Alcohol 120%" to create an image of the full Morrowind disc and just house it on my HDD. Then I never have to worry about the disc. Is there a good program for the Mac that would allow me to do the same? TIA.

Well you have to remember, in order to play Morrowind, or any PC game, you need to install bootcamp and then install windows. So once you have windows installed, then you can just run morrowind and any mods you want as you usually do. You cannot run Morrowind under OSX natively.
