Someone may have already mentioned this in class, but there is a program, DOSBox, that will allow users to play old DOS-based games on a computer running current operating systems. (Supports Linux, Mac, and Windows) So, if you feel like some old school pixelation, check it out!

The virtualization software, Parallels, makes it possible to run Windows within Mac OSX and thus, allows for the simultaneous use of Windows and Mac programs. In order to use Windows programs on the Mac, you must purchase Parallels and a licensed copy of Windows. But what if you just want to be able to play some PC games?

I guess one of the main questions I have about gaming is perhaps one of the same questions that many people have had about composition and rhetoric over the years: is there any transference of knowledge and/or skill strategies to other situations outside of the ones that happen when a learner is in the context of the game/course.
