    Hey,

    Sorry if this has been asked before. I had quick look and couldnt see it,

    Does anyone know if it's possible to get Final Fantasy 7 on the Mac? I havent played this game in years, and i remember really loving it. Would love a chance to play it again,

    Thanks guys,

    Yup, think you're right. Have been having a look through google, and it doesnt seem like there's a way without putting windows on my machine. Just wondering if there was a work around,

    Ah well, back to COD4!

    Hey, meant to write you up a reply earlier. You could have a look at emulating a Windows environment using WINe.

    WINe website: There's an FAQ on how to run programs, guess that'd be your first stop :)
    Turns out FFVII doesn't work yet.

    Guide on how to run Team Fortress 2 in Ububtu Linux using WINe: This won't be much help due to it being a different OS to MacOS but you'll get an idea of how WINe works.


    You could also try DOSBox or QEMU if you're feeling especially hardcore. Also, anybody who is having trouble running FFVII on Windows Vista should give DOSBox a shot.
