Great news. Thanks!
Starfleet Command
How about the original Starfleet Command? It will only run in multiplayer, not in skirmish or campaign, due to something about the CD copy protection.
[Never mind; I found a NoCD crack for it, and now it works great under Parallels and XP.]

Shame
Would it be alot of extra work to implent?
Since it works in 5160, why won't keep supporting it?
Dear Qom,
We are sorry for disappointing your expectations. However we do have a reason (mentioned above) not to concentrate on World of Warcraft primarily.
With every build of Parallels Desktop a lot of things get changed. So it is possible that a game working before is not supported any more - if the game has not been included in our priority list.
Why don't you run World of Warcraft on your Mac OS?
Best regards,
Xenos

Hi again,
It's because I use addons that require .NET Frameworks 2.0 to work.
I haven't been able to get it working using Mono in OSX.

Another vote for NWN2. Tried to install several times; each time I was told that a required file was missing - different file each time. Also, NWN1 worked for a short time and then started crashing - don't remember the circumstances, and I lost the install discs while moving so have been unable to replicate. Would prefer to run in OS X but was unable to find a Mac copy.
The versions of Diablo 2 that I've seen for sale in the last few months have installs for both Mac and Windows. You may want to check yours. Maybe you could install the Mac version. I have some old games bought before I got a Mac which turned out to have a Mac version included as well (Scrabble, Starcraft Broodwars).

Unity Engine games
I'd like to see games created in Unity (www.unity3d.com) work better, they run but have a ton of rendering problems. Obviously there are probably Mac versions of many of these games. I specifically want it to test Windows builds as a developer.

Call of Duty: United Offensive
CoD:UO multiplayer works fairly well under the latest build of Parallels 3, but with one gotcha. Here are my observations. In both cases Parallels is running Windows XP full screen at 1600x1200 on a Mac Pro.
Full screen mode at 1600x1200
- Average frame rate: 80 fps.
- Very smooth; no chop or lag.
- Video is very, very dark making it almost impossible to play the game.
- Game engine brightness control has no effect.
Windowed Mode at 1280x1024
- Average frame rate: 65 fps.
- Mild chop.
- Video has full brightness and intensity.
From what I have seen, I would find the performance of the multiplayer version of Call of Duty: United Offensive under parallels perfectly acceptable if I could actually see what was on the screen. Solve the dark video problem, and you can add CoD:UO to the list of games that work flawlessly.
