I have a imac 800mhz g4 and it works fine on the game it is slow at time but make every thing low I would recommend it to any on who wants a game that works on a old computer like a g4 maybe not so much for a g3 (I think multiplayer is the best) and it comes with 3 games one disc
Allied assault great
spear head good
Breakthrough all right I like it but I would have 1 ghz g5 dont play it if you have a g3
all in all the best game I ever Had!!44 of 76 people found this useful

Intel iMac does a swell job with MOH: AA
Written by MM from Monkey Island

I played the game on my intel imac (OS 10.4.10) from beginning to end with no bugs.
MOH: Breakthrough and Spearhead (both come with warchest) were also excellent.
There is ONE bug that I encountered, that made Spearhead anticlimactic.
-At the end of the game there is a transition between game play and the debriefing movie/ credits. You are fighting with a tank for 2 min before this occurs. The bug appears at the end of 2 min and you get stuck in this 3d map zone of the level you just played. You can see building structures and half of your tank.
All other briefing/ debriefing movies work perfect.
All in all
--------------
MOH: Allied Assault - excellent
Breakthrough - super
Spearhead - satisfying

Runs OK, but a UB version would be welcome
Written by AT from Herent

Both MOHAA and Spearhead run pretty OK under Rosetta on my 2.33 GHz Core 2 Duo MacBook Pro, with about 30-40fps in the more demanding Spearhead (1440x900 resolution, medium quality settings). This is a huge improvement over the slide show-performance I had on my old G3 iBook (I still don't grasp how I ever finished the game on that machine). I don't have the Breakthrough expansion, so I don't know how well it would run.
I assume this package contains the latest versions, but it still wouldn't hurt to check for updaters (look in the Downloads section of the Apple site), especially if you bought the games separately a while ago like me. Your MOHAA version should at least be 1.14b and Spearhead 2.15b.
With the performance being just 'OK' on a MBP, I suppose Intel Macs with less powerful graphics hardware or processors may not be suitable to play these games, until Aspyr releases a Universal Binary update. This shouldn't be too hard because they already adapted the Quake3 engine which powers these games.
Note: there is a way to enable multiprocessing support, _don't_ do this on Intel Macs! It will reduce performance for some reason, maybe because it interferes with Rosetta (or maybe it's simply broken, there must be a reason why it's disabled by default).
As for the games themselves, they may not be the most groundbreaking concerning game play, but they do focus on realism (all weapons, vehicles and locations are historically accurate). If you want a straight shoot 'em up game, you're better off with Unreal Tournament. The graphics (especially of the original MOHAA) may be a bit dated, but the sound is still excellent.121 of 258 people found this useful
