Not unless you dual boot your mac with XP on another partition. Then you could keep your copy of D2.

I can solve your problem, Don't buy a Macbook, it's a complete and utter waste of money. Use the $500 you save buying a PC to get yourself something nice.

honestly... why do people say stuff like this? Obviously I WANT a MAC (maybe its for the free, easy to use movie editing software? Hmm...) which means that you telling me how much you clearly dont like them means about as much to me as my parents constantly berating me with their religious zealotry. Thank you for your opinion, but at the present, I am just going to look for a MAC version of Diablo II

This problem wouldn't be here if games were released for both PC and MAC.

If you have an old copy that's PC compatible only, register your copy on Bnet/Blizzard, and you'll be entitled to digital copy of D2, both Mac and PC.

None of the games you own for the PC will work on the Mac. Only very few games have been released for the Mac (that are available on PC) but those you have to buy separately because Mac uses a different installer. A solution would be to install windows xp on your mac using boot camp that cames with mac. Then you will have best of both worlds

Yup Yup make a blizzard account enter the cd key and it will allow you to download the Mac or Windows version.

Actually Spore and Sims work both on my PC and Mac, so it really depends on the game. Im not sure why Macs get so much hate, I love both operating systems for different programs, i wish other people understood that concept.
