You could also support the business by finding some museum that sells old games and buy them. I would like to take the time to tell you that you only keep what you still have lying around at home or in storage. It took a minute to get the correct keys down but after that I was off and running.

Simply double click on the game you want to play and get ready to rock. The games come complete with icons and there is no need to start dosbox prior to running any of them. There are several torrents floating around the nets with tons of classic games bundled in dosbox apps. I found a little more than what I was looking for. I figured that most of them should play while running Dosbox or Crossover and so, I went looking on the internet. My main computer is a Mac Book Pro and won’t play the old games I found. I was a little bummed that I couldn’t play them though. Games like Red Alert, Shogun, Duke Nukem, Heretic, Quake, and Sim City. While cleaning out and rearranging our storage the other day I found all my old PC games.

I honestly hope this takes off and in a big way. There is this huge hole where other developers could be capitalizing on digital game sales and now they might have an answer to their distribution problem. The real question for me is, whether or not it will actually suit a true Mac user’s needs and fill the gap between Quake Live and Steam. The real question I want to know, is will people use it? Will it feature games from their 3rd party game developers like Call of Duty, Maden, or Tiger Woods? In an era where digital distribution reigns supreme and Apple seems to be leading the way with iTunes and their other app store for the iPad and iPod, was this really a big leap for Apple? I think not. It boasts all kinds of bells and whistles like multi-touch and auto-updates. Instead of having to go into an Apple retail store, or buy online, you will soon be able to just point, click, and buy that piece of software you were looking for. What will the new App store going to do for you? The new digital distribution system for Macintosh applications will soon be coming to an OSX near you.
