    Hey I was looking all over the internet for Sim theme park or theme park world and casino empire for mac. I have osx lion and was wanting to play these games again but the cds i own are only for pc and cant seem to get them to emulate onto my mac. Does anyone know of a place where i can get a download for these games for osx lion?

    There used to be a few abandonware websites that had old PC and Mac games for download. Unfortunately, EA (for Sim Theme Park) is pretty good about quickly sending cease and desists to those sites even though they don't have any intention of making money on them ever again. It's just the way of things, and they're within their rights to do so. As a result, and given that you can't readily buy them anywhere and can't find them online, your best bet for those specific games is likely eBay.
