![]() It can play all the HE games, no matter what platform version, except for "Pajama Sam 4" and "Putt-Putt: Pep's Birthday Surprise," because those games do not use the Scumm engine. The third, and the most easiest, option is to just download and install the Mac OS X version of ScummVM. This would only work with the MS-DOS versions though, and only for the first three HE Junior Adventures and the Fun Packs (IDK if a DOS version of "Putt Putt and Fatty Bear's Activity Pack" was ever made.) If you have the DOS versions of the HE Classics and want to run those, there's a version of DOSBox available, and there's a similar and more easier program called Boxer designed for playing old MS-DOS games. The second is, if you want to just use the Mac versions, you could get an OS 9 emulator like SheepShaver. There are also virtualization options if you don't want to dual-boot (like Parallels Desktop and VirtualBox), but I'm not going into details. ![]() IDK how well many HE games run on Windows 7 or 8, but I've even run the 1995 reissues of the HE Classics without many problems on XP!) You could use the Boot Camp dual-boot partition setup, so your Intel Mac will have OS X on one partition, and Windows on the other! (Be careful though, some of the more recent Intel Macs cannot use Windows XP with Boot Camp. The first is if you still need to use Windows for some other applications as well. But wait, there are still quite a few options! ![]() I thought I'd share this information here for anyone using a Macintosh computer made since 2006, as they use Intel's processors instead of the old PowerPC processors (I mostly use my MacBook computer from early 2009.) Currently, none of the HE games are compatible with Intel Mac processors or the Mac OS X operating system.
