Which relic products? They don't make that many games for mac anymore do they?
Halo PC keys don't work for the Mac version.
Late EA titles are just Cider wraps and you're probably good to go with those. Pretty much anything from Aspyr too.
So how would I be able to download the mac version and use pc cd key? can you register with ea or something?
It's old, but Quake 3 doesn't have problems using the key from a Linux copy. I downloaded the 1.32 Point release for Windows, and copied some files over from the CD and it's all good. I bought the Linux version years ago in clearance when the PC version was still $30 or $40. I need to try it out with Mac. Is there a universal binary for Quake 3?
Thanks cardude! Hopefully running it in OSX will fix the crackling sound that I sometimes get when I run Q3A in Vista.

This is good to hear, as I just picked up Red Alert 3 because it was on sale, and while I don't really have a problem playing in Windows, it'd be nice to have the option of playing it directly in OS X.
Whenever the Mac version of Red Alert 3 drops I'll try my key out and see what happens.
