How to Install Games on a Mac (11 Steps)

Insert the game CD into your Macintosh's CD drive.
Locate the icon for the CD on your desktop and double click to open it. Most commercial software CDs start with an open window to help you find the installer application faster.
Locate the game icon or the installer icon. They will be clearly labeled by the manufacturer, and they will usually have a .app extension.
Drag the game application to your Applications folder on the Macintosh, or double click the installer to launch it. If you're supposed to drag the icon to install it, the CD will show an arrow like this ===> pointing to a picture of the Applications folder as a cue of what to do.
Follow the installer directions in the dialog box that appears on your screen to complete the installation process. You will find your game icon in the Applications folder when the installation is complete.
Leave the CD in the disk drive if the game requires it in order to run. Many commercial games will only run if the original CD is still in the machine.
