The Sims 2 (Mac)

from: Aspyr

June 10, 2005
An absolute disappointment to discover that despite having well over the recommended system requirements, the game will not play with extension packs citing "source not found" which is apparently essential to the game working properly. I found this to be extremely frustrating, especially after playing Sims 2 + University, Nightlife, Open for Business and Seasons without complications on my older Macbook. Please sort out this problem so that we can play your games to their full potential.

Sid Meier's Civilization IV (Mac)

from: Aspyr

June 30, 2006
After reading several bad reviews for Civ IV i thought i should write my own. So okay, i run the game on my old iMac G5 and i have no problems, sure it's a little slow at times but when you have an old machine you have to expect that. If you have an Intel powered mac you're in a much better position to play this game, but if not like me, tinker with the settings and you should get it to work fine. My machine is by no means blazing fast. The game itself is excellent. Yes, it is a bit easier than Civ III, but played on a harder level it will balance out. There is a bit more to the game than Civ III, a bigger learning curve, but when you come to grips with that you'll appreciate the extra bit of depth to the game. It is an excellent game.

Simcity 4: Deluxe Edition (Mac)

from: Aspyr

November 25, 2005
I prefer the strategy-builder games like SimCity and Civilisation, and so I get a lot of fun from this version. You basically get to be God (in fact the mayor) and you start building your ideal community. Naturally it takes a bit of skill to find a viable combination of key elements (e.g. housing, industry and commerce) otherwise your community just goes bankrupt and dies away. I tend to enjoy just playing the early periods, and the next time I just start all over again. I love trying out different approaches to positioning housing and commerce together and putting industry in isolated areas, but I think the key is to optimise planning (and in particular commuting time) for the period in which you find yourself, and not to be afraid to change quite radically your ...

Sims 2: Nightlife Expansion Pack (Mac/DVD)

from: Aspyr

April 14, 2006
This needs Sims 2 to run, and adds a lot of extra functions and characters. Some officially, others you can get to using cheats. Great fun to be had with vampires, mannequins and creating your own night clubs.

Roller Coaster Tycoon 3 (Mac)

from: Aspyr

November 25, 2005
This game is soooooooo additive, once you start to play the day seems to pass you by at break neck speeds. Runs ok on my Macbook - however i am getting a new Macbook Pro and can not wait to find out how this handles the game. I mostly play the "sand box" part of the game (you have unlimited amounts of money) and can wast about 6hrs building Coaster's etc, etc. Some people say it's hard to get into but i have never had any issues with learning this game. If you like building Coasters and watching your parks grow and grow with "peeps" (Roller Coaster Tycoon talk for people) than this is your game.
