Is it possible to install StarCraft on my Intel MBP (on OS X)? I thought it was possible because I never heard a word against it, but when I mounted the ISO file, and tried to start the installer, it says it is not supported on this system. Don't know why this is.
Got a tip for us?

Have you tried the native installer?

Is that a full free as in beer version of the game? If so I might actually try it out as I've never played it.
The game itself isn't free, just the installer. You still need to have your Starcraft CD's ready.
Cool. I downloaded that installer and was able to get StarCraft to install but not BroodWar. For some reason it doesn't like my BW CD (although the CD itself works on Windows... I'm downloading an ISO image now, maybe that'll be better. By the way, can anybody get fullscreen to work for SC?
Ok so I got BroodWar to install! The only issue I'm having now is that the game won't minimize, hide, or anything. When it launches it takes up the whole screen and you're stuck in it until you quit it from the inside. Any thoughts?
