There are three methods you can use to play Windows game on a Mac: WINE, Boot Camp, and virtualization. If you want to play Windows games with as little trouble as possible, then Boot Camp is the best choice. Virtual machines can work well for older games but lack the performance necessary to play modern titles.

I have a RollerCoaster Tycoon CD that runs on Windows 95/98. I really want to play it and I've tried just about everything, but I don't know anything about this process and I'm looking for someone to walk me through it. I'm not looking to pay anything. I blindly bought it on steam, but that's only for Windows too. So I have the disc and it on steam. What applications should I download and what steps can I take? I don't know much so a detailed walkthrough would be awesome. Thanks!

• Play old games with an emulation on a Mac. Emulators are another great way to play games on your Mac, even if they exist legal gray area. Even if the emulators themselves are not illegal, you must buy games (ROMs) that you do not own. Many jurisdictions allow you to create and read software backups (ROMs) as long as you have the original support.
• The big digital PC gaming storefronts all have Mac clients. You can install Steam, Origin, Battle.net, and the GOG.com Downloader on your Mac. If you’ve purchased a game and it already supports Mac, you should have access to the Mac version immediately. If you purchase the game for Mac, you should have access to the Windows version, too.
