Hi everybody

One question: does ZT2 work on Macs. I know the system requirements say Windows but I was wondering if it actually will work on Macs. I have a PC now but I have been thinking about getting a Mac. Hope somebody can answer my question.

It is extremely unlikely. Not only would you need a Windows emulator, but you would also need a DirectX 9 emulator. As far as I know, there are no working DirectX 9 emulators yet, for Macs or other operating systems.

I believe ZT1 is available for Macs now, but not ZT2.

Yes, amazon.com lists that there are versions of ZT1 and a MM/DD expansion pack that have been available for the Mac as of last year. These would have to be purchased separately; there is no CC listed as being available for the Mac. I do not know anything about them or how well they work. I also do not know if downloads requiring dll files would work. And they might be available only in the U.S..

Also, amazon.com does not list any ZT2 that will work on a Mac.
