bucket Posted January 12, 2023 Share Posted January 12, 2023 Hi, I just purchased the two games off eBay, but cannot get them to install on my MacBook or IMac. Can anyone help or will they just not run on these machines? Thanks. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff EdL Posted January 12, 2023 SI Staff Share Posted January 12, 2023 No they won't work as modern macOS only supports 64bit apps and back then FM was 32bit Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are windows applications that can get them to work so there might be MacOS too Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
SI Staff EdL Posted January 12, 2023 SI Staff Share Posted January 12, 2023 This is different to the situation with Windows. Thee onyl way you could do it is by running a virtual machine running an older version of MacOS that still had 32bit support. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I can't remember when mac changed from PowerPC to Intel, but I think these are probably PowerPC still so would need to be a very old MacOS version at this point 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest, I’ve only bought them in order to collect the boxes etc for display of the games I’ve played. Seen @Miles Jacobsondisplay cabinet and loved it. So now I want one! would have been a bonus to be able to go back and play them. Never mind. Thanks for the help! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
