'GameRanger' - strictly for Macs only?

Post by [BIG] Ranger » Wed Mar 30, 2005 8:24 am

I was talking to someone on GameRanger last night, and they seemed to think that there was a way PC Ghost Recon users could ge onto GameRanger! (Via IP???)

Is this true?

Cheers, R.

OH...PS: The reason I am interested is that one of my friends is a PC Ghosrt Recon player, and we would like to hook up with him. SO any suggestions for the best way a bunch of Mac users and a PC user can play over broadband would be gratefully recieved!!

Evill made it so no one could ip join any Ghost Recon game, but recently I have heard someone found a way around that. So it is possible, you just have to figure it out.

Connecting to Gameranger and connecting go ghost recon are two different things... I know for a fact that you can get onto gameranger via the sourceforge file found at gameranger.sourceforge.net. I do it every once in a while my self but it seems to have problems on Win2K, but on XP it is seemless...as for GhR, I have no idea.

Yes, you could use the gr on sourceforge although you have a good chance of being permanently banned. Also, you cannot connect to or play games using that.

If you have only a PC and wanna connect to Mac games, there's nothing holding you back. Unless you plan on using a program that was illegally made.

What Evill is trying to do, is control the mac gaming world; it's called business. If he can link up to every possible mac game, then he will be the main source for Gaming, though if he goes down, the Mac gaming 'community' itself well fail immensly..thus why people should try and get other programs out (iGame, etc.)

Yes, it is quite possible to connect with any game to any server; whether or not it is legal, is a different question. :P

If that answers your question in anyway, there you go! ^^

Intel Macs can run anything that runs natively in OSX, but I don't think they support classic applications. That means for the most part, you can play all your normal Mac games except the older ones. Even those have OSX ports now, some of them

You can run older games on an Intel Mac running it in Rosetta, but I wouldn't really recommend it because it will run pretty bad.

You probably already have figured this out, but they have StarCraft for Mac OS X. Clicky.

EDIT: I found a native OS X installer.
