Switched over to a Mac, and all of my PC purchases are chill in. I know if I had a PC, I could install them, then just copy the files back to my Mac. But then I would need to use my own copy of Dosbox to play. Can anyone help me out? Trying to play all my old Sierra games.

I've put up a set of tutorials here, for running Windows-only GOG games using WINE (either with Wineskin or CrossOver), and DOSBox: http://www.gog.com/forum/general/gog_games_on_mac_os_x_a_how_to/page1

I also have a GOGMix with information on using WINE with specific GOG games here: http://www.gog.com/mix/mac_friendly_gog_games_4

Inside Mac Games also has a potentially useful series of articles on running GOG games on the Mac here: http://www.insidemacgames.com/features/

While it's not non-trivial, getting most of your Windows-based GOG games to work in OS X is relatively easy, as long as you have the time and patience to troubleshoot WINE. With the use of applications like , [url=http://www.playonmac.com/en/]PlayOnMac, or Barrel, you can also do it completely free of charge.
rampancy,
didn't mean my 2nd post to sound negative. i'm actually reading your post right now. but only issue is running fusion/parallels/boot camp. didn't want to set all of that up on this machine. i have another mac, i have it set up there, but was trying to avoid all that to copy all of the files.
