Reccomended MacBook games...

[guitarmaster18]

Ok, I know that the MacBook is not a gaming machine, but post some games that are worth buying that are playable on the Macbook. I bought Halo and I have been playing it on a 23" ACD and it looks great (in clamshell mode of course). So, any reccomendations? Thanks.

Any old Blizzard game.

I play Civ IV in OS X and so far so good.

runs well.

Everything else, I play in bootcamp on XP

EA games like NBA live 07 and Madden 07 are fine.
Lego Star Wars 2 can get choppy here and there, but not too bad.

I think it's good for average gaming

I think this thread has some good recommendations. 🙂

Is Civ IV an improvemnt over Civ III?

I loved Civ II but found Civ III a bit tedious.

 

[Lord Flashheart]

World of Warcraft!!

Runs fine from all I have seen/heard.

I've been playing Redline on my macbook, fun racing game.

You can download a demo here and also buy it if you like it.

Could someone confirm if these work or not? Especally Half-life. Thanks. Also, could someone tell me if I would get better FPS with 1.5 GB ram (1x 512, 1x 1GB) or with 1 gb ram with matched 512? Does it make a difference? Thanks

I think there is only two slots for RAM in the MB..so you need two 1 gig sticks

go with the full 2 gigs, it's very nice

Is Guild Wars universal binary or Mac compatible or something? Just curious?

Civ II was a classic. Civ III looked promising but I never figured out where to get scenarios. That's what made it great. Anyway, it ran poorly on my G3.

O my, sketch fighter looks awesome! I am definitely giving that a try when I get home tonight!

I agree with Civ 4- one of my favorite games, and the only game I really even play anymore these days. The best Civ since Civ I, in my opinion.

Where do you get the games to play on this emulator?
Mainly looking for Goldeneye and Micro Machines!!! 😀

how would something like Madden '07 run on a SR Macbook connected to a 42" plasma by DVI?

This game is pretty awesome and made me have more fun with pong then I ever thought I would. 😎

 

[guitarmaster18]

Thanks for the suggestions guys! Wow, that pong game is fun, and it actually looks good and runs fast on my macbook! I've been using a wii remote to control sixtyforce... Man, it is fun!
