About a week ago, we released a short list of PC games that may run on iMac 2.8 GHz Core 2 Duo through Boot Camp. We have extended this list, now covering 21 PC games. The following is a list of games we have added to the list. It has turned out that one of the games in the list doesn’t run properly on our Intel Mac computer.
Running old PC games may not be such a bad idea. Old games cheap. We don’t want to spend more than 20 bucks for each game. Continue reading
A long time ago, I bought a cheap computer just to run PC games. I used to go to Hastings and WalMart to look for cheap PC games. As I own an Intel Mac machine now, I don’t have to rely on the old game-only machine or PC emulators like Virtual PC or VMware Fusion. I can just switch to Windows XP that is installed on the Windows partition of this iMac 2.8 GHz and run PC games. But does it run all PC games out there?

If you have watched the QuickTime game play videos that we have recently made available, you are probably aware that our iMac 2.8 GHz has been able to run several PC games including Call of Duty Modern Warfare, Sid Meier’s Pirates!, Age of Empires III: Asian Dynasties and Unreal Tournament 3. In fact, we have tested several more PC games on this machine. The following is a list of PC games which run on our iMac 2.8 GHz. Continue reading
It’s been a week since we welcomed a new employee with an aluminum framework. Accordingly, we have done several accomplishments with his help. We installed a Windows partition through Boot Camp and then installed Windows XP. We played PC games including Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare, Farcry, The Lord of the Rings: The Battle for Middle-Earth, World in Conflict, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion… Thanks, iMac! Hmm… There is something missing on our desktop. (See Screenshot 01.) What is it!? Ohh… I know what it is. It’s the icon of the Windows partition. It’s a generic icon that comes with Mac OS. And we want to install a customized icon on this partition. How?

All I need is a removable device. Preferably, I need a USB device. What device and why? I need a device through which both Mac OS and Windows OS can read data without an additional driver. Let’s see what I have.

I also have a cheap MP3 player, which I could use because it has internal Flash memory accessible with a USB cable. This time, I won’t use it, though.

Let’s first use a USB memory stick, which we reviewed some 15 hours ago. I created 12 icons just for this operation. So let me copy an icon from No. 10 as shown in Screenshot 05 and paste it on USB MEMORY. (Also see Screenshot 06.) Then? I just need to switch to Windows. Continue reading
