The question probably speaks for itself. I know that they're Windows-based games, so inherently a copy of Windows must be available. That precludes using DOSBox, but would any of the following solutions (or others) work?. Boot Camp with Windows 7?. VMWare with a Windows version of the appropriate vintage?

(Is WINE even available for Mac?). Profit! Fill in #4 for me?) Details of the machine in question: MacBook 13', integrated 256M graphics, 4GB of RAM, 2GHz Intel Core Duo. As of November 2012, started offering the games in Mac format.

Both and were offered. This was probably be the best/most affordable way to get the games. Fallout Mac CDROMs on Amazon seem way much overpriced (due to their scarcity I assume). Update 1/1/2014: Unfortunatelly GOG has. As this is probably due to 's publishing rights on the franchise expiring. The games are now only available for download to those who have already purchased them. The games have also been removed from and it is unclear whether/when a new distribution agreement will be made with, who now holds the publishing rights.

Fallout 3 if you want a good, long, single player RPG/FPS. Bioshock 2 is very fun, pretty much just like the first one. The single player won't keep you going for too long though. Dunno about the multiplayer, haven't tried it yet. Borderlands is very fun if you have 3 other people to play it with, but it's just a mindless lootfest. Fallout 3 is by far the most 'RPG' of all of them. I put 65 hours into it with 3/5 of the DLC in two playthroughs (DA:O took me 55 with all of the DLC on one playthrough, one of the most fun games I've played but I don't think I could take a second playthrough at that length).

Although it can be pretty short if you skip the extra stuff. But I'd recommend it for sure. I didn't play the first two Fallouts either.
