is there anything i can download off the internet that enables me to download games for microsoft onto my mac? i want to download simple 10MB games which wont work on my mac, but do work on PC. must be free!

thanks

(PS. i am aware of virtual PC for mac, but thats too expensive. is there a mini-version or something for free? or a demo?)

Hi and welcome to macosx.com

Free:
Bochs: http://bochs.sourceforge.net/

Not expensive:
CrossOver: http://www.codeweavers.com/
Parallels: http://www.parallels.com/
iEmulator: http://www.iemulator.com/

For Bochs, iEmulator & Parallels, you have to buy a W2000 or WinXP license to install the Windows inside these emulators (around 100 $)

Ah, and yes: for 200$, I bought one year ago a second-hand PIII PC W2000 512 MB 20 GB Disk.. only for gaming

Philippe
