I'm not great with computers, maybe someone on here would know of a way to make the games run on a Mac? I really want to play them! :(

You can make the Quest for Glory series run on your Mac, with no problem, if you have an Intel-based Mac. In short, you need two pieces of software: a distribution of WINE for Mac OS X called Wineskin, and a distribution of DOSBox for Mac OS X called Boxer. Run the installer within Wineskin, and then take the data files for Quest for Glory 1-4 (the games in the series that run on DOS) and import them into Boxer.

I've got a tutorial for using Wineskin , and I have an earlier tutorial [url=http://www.gog.com/en/forum/general/gog_games_on_mac_os_x_a_how_to/post1]here on how to use Boxer (in that particular post I extracted the game files using CrossOver, but Wineskin works equally well here).

As proof that this all works, I've just installed QfG V on my Mac and it works fine (10.7.5, MacBook Air, CrossOver 11.2.2), though as with many games in Lion, you need a virtual desktop enabled to get them to run.

For Quest for Glory 1 to 3, you could simply use ScummVM (Quest for Glory 4 is SCI32, which could take some time to get fully supported).

Character files are compatible with the original interpreter, which means you could finish QfG3 and then import your character in Dos-Box.

It would help if you actually legitimately bought the game, first.

Edit: Link removed. Thanks, Gydion.
