Age of Empires II, Gold Edition
I don’t play a lot of games and I am a new Mac user as well. This plays great on my new MacBook Pro, 2.6 GHz, 4 Gb RAM, 512 video RAM, 200 Gb 7200 rpm drive, 17 -inch glossy screen Hi-Res. Smooth video and action. No problems what so ever.
Rating: 4 / 5
This is an amazing game, and i played frequently played the windows version when i was using Windows. However, the Mac version does not work on Intel Macs, only the old PPC processor.

For all of us that just don’t like the newer Age of Empires this is the game that we fell in love with. In depth gameplay but not too hard so anyone could learn to play. I feel the problem with a lot of these types of games is that they outsmart their own intended audience. This is not the case for AOE 2, great strategy game!

The game is fantastic it’s a great classic RTS, but for some reason I can get it to run I high res only 800 x 600 otherwise it crashes about 2 min into a skirmish or mission.

Age of Empires II, Gold Edition is a fun and exciting game. It is very versatile, has lots of great features, game types, civilizations, and tons of in-game complex strategies, units, technologies, and buildings. Although the graphics are not nearly as good as modern RTS games, it still has an epic feeling to it (the same also goes with the music). Key features include: historical campaigns and new historical single scenarios, pro-level recorded games that come with the product (great for improving your strategies), and the addicting Random Map games. Please note that I haven’t tried the multiplayer, but but I believe it’s through GameRanger, so it should be good. I had this for PC, and now that I’m a Mac, I had to get it.
Other pros:
Scenario editor is easy to use
The Conqueror’s expansion pack is included, pus Gold Edition content
Other cons:
Graphics/music are outdated by now in their quality
Need to re-map some hotkeys if you don’t have a full keyboard (such as if you’re on a laptop).
