Quest for the Magical Cookie: The Game

[BenBen]

How do you get the game to run? It says that my comp can't run it.

[keja]

are you on a mac?

[Gamma]

Yeah, I dunno anything about the compatibility with this game and Macs...

[keja]

it's an .exe file, it won't work...

[Gamma]

Macs can't run .exes?

[ThingerDudes]

an .exe is a WINDOWS executable.

[Gamma]

Oh yeah...

So what's a Mac executable?

[BenBen]

are you on a mac?

No.

[cyan]

it doesn't work for me either (mac).

[Gamma]

Well,

So what's a Mac executable?

[cyan]

i don't know.

[Gamma]

I don't know either. So unless somebody figures out how to run .exes on Macs, you're stranded.

[BenBen]

Is there any specific place you have to put the .exe for it to run on a pc?
otherwise i'll try downloading it again.

[bjrocks1]

I just downloaded it, but I had to download it twice because it failed the first time. If you don't have it running by Monday I will give it to you BenBen. You do not need to put it anywhere special.

[BenBen]

Kewl, thx.

[assdef]

On a Mac it's called an "Application" (or more commonly now "apps") and Macs don't really use file extensions all that much - that's a DOS/Windows invention.

[Gamma]

So... anybody figured out how to run .exes on a Mac?
