Mac games ? - Tilted Forum Project Discussion Community

I recently purchased Battlefield 1942 for Mac with the hopes of adding the Desert Combat Mod. I've downloaded the file but it's an .exe file. Is this a Windows only format? My Powerbook isn't recognizing it when I attempt to install it. Any help is greatly appreciated!

I do believe that .exe is specific to the Windows OS(or at least, that it's incompatible with Mac OS). Except maybe with the newer Macs, which seem to be bridging the gap between Mac and PC.
My best advice is to ask the software company for a mac installation file.

Thanks for the info Biznatch! I hope there's Mac software to support the Desert Combat Mod because I like that version almost as much as BF2.
May your holidays be filled with many naughty Santa's helpers.
