Old School game downloads for the Mac?

[KingRichard]

I've been looking for some games to play when I'm chilling out in the office, but none seem to download properly for the mac. Are any of the following available anywhere either online or as a download that will work?

Cannon Fodder
Commandos
Sim City
Monkey Island
Doom
GTA1

You get the idea...

ScummVM is your friend for Monkey Island - its freeware, and the data files for Monkey Island 1 and 2 have also been released as freeware.

Cheers,

I don't quite get it though... you download scumm, and then can download the code for the game? How do you then play it?

Essentially, yes. The games like MI came as a data file, and wrapper code that turned the data into the game. This wrapper was called Scumm. They've created a free version called ScummVm, which you download, point it at the games data, and away you go. LucasArts have made the data for MI1 & 2 available as freeware.

Then google for the games. If you get stuck, PM me and I'll try to email you the data for MI 1 & 2 (assuming its still on my laptop)
