MAC?

Does anybody know if EM can run on a MAC computer?

Are we talking native OS whatever Mac, a Mac running a Windows emulation or one of those newfangled Intel Macs that can actually run Windows?

I play Evochron Mercenary on a Mac, but I actually reboot my computer into Windows to do so. All Macs since mid to late 2006 are able to do this, you just need a bit of extra hard drive space and of course, a legal version of Windows.

This is all done through Apple's "Boot Camp" software, which you can read more about on Wikipedia here. Boot Camp comes pre-installed on all Macs too, so really all your colleague has to do is locate a copy of Windows he can use, make sure he has some hard drive space free, and then launch the Boot Camp Assistant program in his Utilities folder and follow the instructions.

The computer will still have to meet Evochron Mercenary's system requirements though. The only thing to watch out for is some of the older Macs had integrated video chips (like the Intel GMA series) instead of the preferred discrete graphics cards by nVidia or ATi.
