Hi all,

This is my first post.  I recently discovered AGS and think that this is fantastic.  I don't have the time or knowledge to make games but would love to play them on the Mac.  I downloaded the runtime, but have not found a single game that will play.  I have searched this site for help running on a mac, but have not found anything that gives much information on AGS and Mac.

Is there a way to find out which games will work on the runtime?  For instance it SEEMS like any game made with AGS versions before 2.5 do not work and any games made with 2.72 do  not work.  I may be wrong with that, but I believe thats what I have read.  Also, some of the games download as a single EXE file.  The Mac runtime will not even attempt to run these.  Is there any way to extract these games?

I know this is a lot of questions, but like I said, I haven't seen too much useful info on the Mac AGS front, and I don't want to keep downloading things that won't work.

Thanks for your time.

1.  Video editing - Final Cut Pro and iMovie are Mac only and are far better than PC alternatives.
2.  Casual Photo cataloguing.  Nothing compares to iPhoto
3.  iWeb (Mac only) creates websites much more quickly than any other program I've tried on Windows or Mac.  It has limitations for high-end sites, but for casual sites it is great.
4.  It's the only computer that runs OSX, Windows and Linux

Thats true by a mile!

Try creating a comparable machine at Dell.com and you will find that the price is very similar and sometimes cheaper.  However, Apple does not sell the low-end machines that Dell sells for $300-500
