Can shipsim 2008 work on a mac?

No Ship Sim cannot work on a mac. I know because I have a Mac with Windows on it. Mac dose not support Windows games. But you could get windows Xp or Vista but you have to have a free program from Apple called bootcamp ( web site here http://www.apple.com/macosx/bootcamp/ ) that allows you to install windows on your computer. But depending on how good you are with computers. I would surgest that you take I to a store that deals with Apple computers.

Ship Sim · « **Reply #8 on:** August 01, 2007, 06:15:15 »

I tried the demo and downloading the full game (bought it a few mn ago).

The demo is working on my macbook pro (the 1st one, core duo, 32bits) with bootcamp and winXP SP2 installed.

So if I install bootcamp it should work? If you install windows it defeats the purpose of having a mac, right

Bootcamp is a tool to install Windows in dualboot with macos X on your mac.
So you can choose to boot on Windows (2k, XP, Vista) OR macos X.

The purpose of a mac is to be able to run both macos X and windows.
And it's still very good hardware anyway, even if you only run Windows (shaaaaaaaame !!!)

Nope.
Windows will run only on intel based Mac.
iMac, MacMini, Macbook, macbook pro, mac pro.

Ahh yes. My mac does its job ok. But has some problems with afiew of my games. Like Trainz.

playforpain · « **Reply #17 on:** August 05, 2007, 20:30:08 »

I can't use any PC games but its still a great computer.

Microheavy · « **Reply #18 on:** August 06, 2007, 22:25:53 »

I use it on my Mac Book Pro with Bootcamp, as I do all my games. A MAC is always better than a PC and ow that you can use Bootcamp you have everything.

Gat the Intel mac

Orinoco · « **Reply #19 on:** August 06, 2007, 23:05:06 »

Getting an Intel MAC with Windows installed surely defeats the whole object.

I'll stick with PCs thanks.

macs have right and left click.

Ship Sim · « **Reply #21 on:** August 08, 2007, 00:32:09 »

Yes they have right and left click buttons but they are hard to use if you have the standard mouse.

Microheavy · « **Reply #22 on:** August 08, 2007, 21:52:45 »

Orinoco,

Sorry but I probably didn't make it clear - With Boot Camp installed you have a Dual Boot system i.e - A Mac and a PC.

The PC for games and the MAC for EVERYTHING else

Sorry to bump this thread up, but I didn't think it would be worth creating another one.

My question is - I have an 1.87 GHz Intel Core Duo iMac with a 128 MB ATI Radeon X1600, running Windows XP via BootCamp. Would that graphics card run Ship Simulator 08 decently enough?

Many thanks.

Download the demo, and give it a spin... that'll give you the answers for sure...
