Wonderland for Mac

Post by lizwiz » Tue Feb 28, 2006 10:01 am

Is there any possibility of Wonderland being converted for Mac users? Nearly a third of computer users prefer Macs and I know loads of exclusively Mac users who would love to get their hands on Wonderland.

I work on Macs all the time and only use a PC for gaming (and shopping at ASDA who don't seem able to properly configure their shopping cart).

I'd love to get Wonderland on a Mac, but it isn't currently possible... however it might become possible in the future.

Since a few months I also have a Mac computer, and because I wanted to run some programs which only can run on Windows OS, like the Wonderland games, I also installed Windows on it, using the Boot Camp application, which is in the Utilities folder. (standard in Mac OS-X)
http://www.apple.com/support/bootcamp/

When you run bootcamp, it will create a new partition on the harddisk, and you'll be asked how big the partition must be. Then it prepares the partiton for a new Windows or Linux installation, and it asks for the Windows installation DVD. Then you have to be patient for a while because some of you may know how that goes with a new Windows installation.

When finished you'll be able to choose with which OS you want to start. You can set it to standard OS-X or Windows, and it's also possible to choose at the moment you start up by pressing the ALT/Option key while starting up.

I've been told there is also a possibility of running the 2 OS's at the same time, using the application "Parallels", but if I'm right you have to pay for that. Also it will ask much more from the processors, so it will run slower. Besides starting up Windows or OS-X on my Mac takes less more then a minute.

Of course, buying and installing Windows only to play Wonderland takes some work and money, but if it's worth that, it's a nice possibility.

Seeing as the Steam DRM service and all of its games has ended up on Mac a few weeks ago, I wouldn't rule it out as impossible. :wink:
