I have a game, Age of Empires II, that has no windowed option whatsoever. I know that it's possible to make the game windowed by running a Mac OS X virtual machine in VirtualBox and running the game in it, but this seems like overkill... Besides, my Snow Leopard Server virtual machine doesn't work anymore for some reason.

Is there some program that will open the game in a virtual monitor like WINE does? If you play a game in WINE that's fullscreen, you can press +ENTER to go into windowed mode, and I'm pretty sure this is a WINE feature and has nothing to do with the game. So I'm looking for something like WINE that runs Mac apps on a Mac, just virtualizing a window for them.

Also, if I have a second monitor attached, it's just black when the game is open. If I do any Exposé or Spaces shortcuts or +tab ingame, nothing happens.
