That's right, if you're a mac user, you can run these Sam & Max games under OS X without having to buy windows for Bootcamp.
Get yourself Crossover for mac, episode 1 ran just as well under OS X as it did for me under windows.
There's another 10 customers for you right there!

You were able to activate and unlock the game as well, or you could just run the demo?

I'll get back to you on that. The first episode I downloaded and cracked (Not going to beat about the bush, telltale can check - I've bought the whole season anyway) on bootcamp and tryed playing it under Crossover a couple of hours ago.
Downloading episode two now, the downloader works fine through Crossover.
I'll update as I can.

Lovely. You probably won't be able to activate the real game without a real Windows registry, but if it works (legally :mad: ) that would be pretty awesome.

The downloader works. I'll test it immediatly after the fil's downloaded. But to try activation, I don't know if I can (as my copy's already activated under my window session via bootcamp)

If not its no problem, I can just jump into bootcamp and sort that out. The bit I'm most interested in is playing it under OS X :)

I'd also like to say I had always intended to pay for it, I was just impatiently waiting on credit card app to go through :/

It's not working for me. I'll try it again later, maybe with an XP bottle (I was on 2000) and a clean install.

Not going for me either, what a shame.
Oh well... I'll install it under Bootcamp then jump back... should work then :)

My results are... well... disapointing.
The only way I can run the games in Crossover is if they're cracked :/ So... scrap this thread.

You'd probably have more luck with Parallels as it uses an actual install of Windows instead of Wine, but that's not really the point then anymore is it? :)

But Parallels can't run any game. It will be surely possible when they'll support GPU, bu for now, I cant play neither grim fandango, nor curse of monkey island... so, Sam&max, I don't think so...
