Chapter 1. Introduction

CrossOver Games allows you to run your favorite Windows games on an Intel Macintosh. Unlike similar products which run the Windows operating system on a virtual machine, CrossOver bridges directly between Windows software and OS X, allowing applications to run at full speed on your Macintosh desktop.

CrossOver Games is tested for performance with many games such as Guild Wars, Eve Online, and Steam games like Half-Life 2 and Portal. It also works well with a wide variety of other 3D and 2D games.

CrossOver Games is easy to install, and requires a small footprint on the system. Its minimum requirements are as follows:

  • An Intel Macintosh (CrossOver does not work on PowerPC systems)

  • Mac OS X 10.4.4 or higher

  • 512M of RAM

  • 100MB of available disk space

[Tip]

You will also need disk space for whatever Windows games you plan to install.
