Mac Games Arcade is a digital download application that allows you to download, purchase, and maintain your Macintosh games, all in an easy to use Mac-like interface. You download the application and run it on your Mac.

A digital download is a software product that is downloaded to your computer. Digital downloads are not physically shipped out to you upon purchase. Instead you download the entire game from the Internet. After downloading you install the game as normal and run it from your hard drive.

Digital downloads are becoming increasingly popular. Mac Games Arcade was designed to make it easier for users to browse, download, purchase and maintain games.

Browse - Quickly and efficiently browse through hundreds of Macintosh games. Check out descriptions, features, screenshots, and system requirements.

Download - Download demos and full games with a single click with no messy installing. Once you download it, Mac Games Arcade installs the game and you're ready to play. No more "where is my download?" and "I can't find the game after it is installed".

Purchase - Purchase Mac games fast and securely. Add games to your cart, then checkout and start playing games within seconds.

Maintain - "Where's my serial number? I've lost it." "I've had a hard drive crash and all my digital downloads are gone."
