#1: Close Combat on Mac OsX??? Author: pwindsor, Posted: Wed Feb 04, 2015 11:38 pm — Long time addict of the close combat series, I have gotten my brother addicted to it and lost girlfriends for playing it.
Anyways, I just picked up an old Macbook that is running OsX 10.5. It's hard drive is too small to install a copy of windows on it and have room for games and everything else. Is there any way of playing Close Combat (ideally CC5, Longest Day, and the 2 newest ones) without having Windows on it? I've done some researching, but Mac is like Japanese to me. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I purchased Intel-based Mac for cheap a few years ago and made life a breeze. If you get a new Mac, all you need is Bootcamp, copy of Windows and you can run CC natively. I just have compatibility issues with the older games but all the re-releases work fine.

Since CC2 was the best-selling in the entire series, seems like a no-brainer. And Apple just posted the best 4th Quarter results in the entire History of American Business..unbelievable.
