To use DVD Catalyst on an Apple computer or laptop, there are a few options to make things work.

Being a (late) first-generation gamer, I grew up with computer systems such as the Atari 2600, Colecovision, ZX Spectrum, MSX, C64, Amiga 500, and various Nintendo and Sega consoles. When it comes to games, I have a fairly short attention span, so with the console systems, I ended up picking up 2-3 $40 games a [...]
