7.15. Games

Nobody switches to the Mac to play games; of the top 250 computer games for Windows, only about 150 are available for the Macintosh.

Still, that number includes the majority of the big- name titles and series, including Civilization, Quake, Harry Potter, Spider-Man, Tomb Raider, The Sims, WarCraft, Jedi Knight, Soldier of Fortune, Max Payne, Links Championship Edition, Age of Empires, Medal of Honor, Return to Castle Wolfenstein, and dozens of others.

And once you do get these programs going on the Mac, you're likely to be impressed. Recent Macs generally come equipped with pleasantly high-horsepower graphics cardsthe kind that serious computer games crave.

If you're a game nut, you can stay in touch with what's new and upcoming by reading the articles (and watching the game " trailers ") at www.apple.com/games, not to mention www.insidemacgames.com, macgamer.com, and macgamefiles.com.
