I don't know which game you are referring too. The original JA and JA:DG are DOS-games so you should be able to run them on a Mac since they'll be useing Dosbox. JA2 is a Windows game so it probably won't work on a Mac. (I don't have a Mac so I can't test this)

Jagged Alliance: Deadly Games is a DOS game so you should be able to run in on a MAC if you download the Mac version of Dosbox from http://www.dosbox.com/download.php?main=1

It seems to me like you need a "It just works" application.

Maybe Boxer is that application. Go ahead and download and install it from here:

Please read on their site about how to install and run your game before asking for help again. Check out the "Install Games with Boxer"-pane on this URL:

Good luck!

Well did you try Boxer that I suggested above?

You might already know this, but it's probably worth mentioning: while the game might work on a Mac using DOSBox, the program that you download from GOG is an installer that will only work on Windows.

If you only have a Mac at home, you will probably need to download this onto a friend's Windows PC, and get them to install it on their computer. You can then copy the installed files onto a USB key, uninstall it from your friend's computer, and then start working on getting it running with DOSBox.
