Need help finding games?

Post by The Romulan Republic »

Basically, I'm wondering if anyone can recomend a store in Toronto that sells games for macs (mine's an OSX.4 or .5, not a laptop). Besides the Apple store. They didn't have much. Especially if they have games that are a few years old (though I'm sure that's a long shot).

(If this thread is considered useless or spammy, please move to OT, testing, or whatever is deemed apropriate.)

You're pretty much screwed. Apple's lack of games on their computers is effectively a long running joke.

I've found a few things, but right now my collection is limited to Sim City 4, Battlestations Midway, Age of Empires 3, and some demos and free games on line (mostly crap).

I did some simple googling my good sir and I discovered this:

Apple online games store

Also, hooray me for a 1000th post.

To be fair here, I was referring to the physical store they have in the downtown. They have a much better selection on line. I usually don't order stuff on line (don't ask me why, just what I'm used to I suppose), but in this case I guess that's the only choice.

Also, congratulations Tolya on the 1000th post. :)

I don't tend to make a distinction between physical Apple Stores and the online one since they sell the same merchandise.

Thanks, that site is one I haven't seen before, has a lot of variety, and most importantly for a university student who's trying to budget, its cheap. :)

I don't know how it is in Canada, but usually physical stores have much less stuff on shelves than virtual ones, since they are usually connected directly to the warehouses.
