Searching for a computer war game for my older Mac

Hi, I have a four years old iMac (Mac OS X version 10.5.8). See the screencapture.

I would like to play a wargame. I prefer a realistic strategic wargame in which you control your army.

Do you know of any good game that I can play easily on my older Mac?

Thanks for your help!

 

Have you looked into buying a 'dual-boot' program like vmware or parallels that would run Windows? That should allow you to run whatever game you want, assuming your processor and RAM can handle it. I've never been a fan or Apple software, but their hardware is top-notch.

 

I have the program called Parallels but never installed it because I don't know how to do it.

 

There was a Bridge Too Far game I used to play on the MAC. Not a bad game. Spent hours on train with it.

 

Oh, interesting. Do you have a link to this game?

 

Apparantly you can download it...I had the cd version so can't tell what this is like..

Download Close Combat: A Bridge Too Far Mac

 

Thanks for the link but unfortunately it doesn't seem to work on my Mac

 

Get hold of the cd, its worth it. Ebay perhaps...It worked on MAC os X and os's before. I used to service the mac's in a finance office. It worked fine with CD.

Hearts of Iron II - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I just ripped this from a few google results. Maybe something will grab your interest.

Unity of Command



Also I'm unsure if unity of command will work on your Mac, but I strongly recommend you give it a try - i'll probably end up making an article here about the latter.

Hope you enjoy some video games on your OS.

 

Thanks Hawkerace for your help. The only problem is that the first four links doesn't work.

 

Hopefully I fixed it, just googled the games names and replaced them. Thanks.

edit: looks like the first game changed its entire game into something else.

 

matrix games have two free older games one for the east front and one for the pacific war that aren't bad

 

Ok thanks for the info.

 

Unfortunately matrixgames also tends to have a forty dollar mark up for games that existed decade prior, gross.
