I recently bought a Mac for my Mom, and she's lamenting the fact that she can't play her games on it... nothing hard-core, but stuff like Bejeweled and Scrabble (which she goes to msn.com for).
Are there any Mac-friendly sites she can go to?
And does anyone have a suggestion for some software that I could buy her, that might include several games?
(as you can tell, I never play games, and have no clue about what to buy or what sites to go to!)
Thanks!

Mac Games is a good source for what's available. Two other Mac game makers are Pangea and Skunk Studios (easy to Google). Skunk has a number of games that might fit the bill - and I believe there are some puzzle games as well.

Definitely check out the games from www.freeverse.com and www.ambrosiasw.com - they both specialize in those sorts of general friendly games, etc.
Popcap makes Bejeweled for the Mac, so you can check that out here:

For free online games and stuff, you might check www.pogo.com - my mom actually enjoys playing a lot of the games on there, and they seem to work on her Intel iMac. -
All your moms play games huh?
Thats kinda weird I don't see many of that around here.
Nonetheless thanks for all the sites guys, now I got something to keep me entertained when I got some time. -

Please try not to triple/quadruple post, just edit the previous one if no one has responded yet.
Thanks for all the links, I will probably add it in a special section of its own in the Mac guide, I'll look at them first. -
lol..i forgot sorry..

I know you can play the original Simcity for free online right now, unfortunately you have to run IE for it to even work.
Both safari and firefox did not work.
A search on google will find it. -
thanks all for the sites.... she'll be psyched!
(obviously, i wasn't of much help to her!)
Edit: forgot to mention that she only plays the free stuff, though if she can't find bejeweled for mac i'm sure she'll buy a copy
