Universal Binary Games
Forgive me if this has been asked/answered already. I did a search, but didn't find a comprehensive list, if one exists.
Is there a (semi) comprehensive list somewhere of game titles that are or will soon be available in UB format?
My MacBook Pro moves closer every day (last I checked it was in UPS' hands), and I'm just wondering what games I'll be able to re-blow my mind on with the startlingly fast CPUs and graphics abilities.
Thanks in advance...

Thanks! That's perfect!

No, not worthy at all. It required quite a bribe.

Re: Universal Binary Games
This may sound stupid, but how do I make an older game run under Rosetta? There's no option showing up in " get info " for AoE2.

Re: Universal Binary Games
So, will it be possible to play Windows games on Mac once BootCamp comes out in Leopard? I know the new iMacs came out with some pretty decent graphics card, but you can't or it seems it would be very difficult to upgrade your graphics card. Some of these new games that are coming out are just insane and you need some crazy computer to even play them.

Re: Universal Binary Games
You can already play Windows games via Boot Camp (beta). The iMac is not upgradeable and will probably handle current titles fairly well, but future titles, not so much. It depends on how long you want to keep the machine. The 2600 Pro is a midrange card, as is the 8600GT in the MBP and both will handle DX10.
You can now run some older (DX8 and below) via Parallels and VMWare.
It is an odd thing, but every one who disappears is said to be seen at San Francisco. It must be a delightful city, and possess all the attractions of the next world.

Re: Universal Binary Games
awesome, thank you for the info! I wish there was a way to upgrade the iMac without destroying it.
