nope your 100% correct, every Blizzard game out there comes on dual-compatible media with not only the provision to run on both systems, but the licensing to do it to. So if you bought the mac version then moved over to the PC your license is still valid and vise-versa. |

I just finished playing Half-Life2 on my new iMac 2.8 CDE 24" machine in Parallels 3... seemed very playable, although framerates dropped once in a while down to about 5fps. There were a few issues with the mouse not tracking, or tracking right out of Parallels and into the Mac OS at points, but I played it out none-the-less and learned to just click back into the Paralles window to resume.

Hello, Referring this quick report about Stalker on PD, I'd like to know if another user ran it successfully, as this game seems to run with directX 8 ? |

Diablo II, Icewind Dale II, Baldur's Gate II MacBook Pro Mac OS X Version 10.5.2 2.5 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo 4 GB 667 MHz DDR2 SDRAM Parallels Desktop for Mac 3.0 Build 5582 VM: Windows XP Professional SP 2 1024 MB Memory 64 MB Video Memory Enable DirectX Shaders Diablo II ---------- Installs. Does not run. Spins VMs CPU to 100%. Killing Game.exe results in message indicating the Play disk could not be found. Icewind Dale II ----------------- Installs. Runs. Horrible flickering of mouse cursor and characters. Unplayable due to seizure inducing flickering. Baldur's Gate II ------------------ Installs. Runs. Some flickering ala IWD II above, but not nearly so bad. Playable. I ran all of the above games under the default, minimal, and maximal graphics settings. No noticeable differences. |

Thanks! I didn't see that looking for the Diablo patches. Unfortunately, it only runs in Software mode, but that's good enough and sure beats having to reboot into Windows to play a bit of Diablo. Ah! StarCraft has an OS X installer now! Will try that later. |
