Far from playing what I want... - Version: 7.2.0, 2/28/2009 03:07PM PST

This is really misleading and they should update their description. There are about 10 games that are guaranteed to work, the rest of the list, about 150 games, are primarily Honorable Mention, meaning that it has been reported to work but not supported. There are a handful of silver and no Gold that I could see. I think I will stick to VMWare fusion or Boot Camp, which runs games at full speed. I mean really you can get a copy of XP OEM for under $99, and that will enable you to play games at full speed with full capabilities. Just my opinion, but this app is pointless...

I've used this for a while and for the programs that it supports it is excellent. PeeCee games are always better without Windozes.

I don't think so. None of the many games I've wanted to play are listed. Perhaps the author should specify that a certain type of game may be played, but not at all the games some of want to play.
