Anybody know where you can find a Mac version of Zelda?
I've looked before, and every place I found said "working on it..." or nothing at all. .exe's are not my friend.

Well, if you want the classic Zelda, you can buy the collectors disc for GC which includes Zelda1, Zelda2: The Adventure of Link, Zelda: Majoras Mask, and Zelda: Ocarina of Time. I had neither of these games, not even OOT or MM for my N64, and have had hours of fun on all these games. You can only buy this used, for it was only available through Nintendo promos.
Jeez my hands are getting tired from all this posting!!

Gamecube? Ha.
I'm still trying to claw my way through an empty bank account in order to get past "N64" and "Game Boy Color".
Ha.

He he, I have the old fashion pocket Gameboy. I tried to download some stuff off the internet but the wonderful world of Dial up hates me. My friend and I pulled out the old NES a couple days ago. It's a wonder that thing still survived.

Ya, it usually takes forevor for me to get enough cash to buy a console. I got a 64 only about 4 or 5 months before the ps2 came out and lucked out on getting a gamecube last year.

It’s not just the system buying that’s expensive, it’s the game buying to make the system purchase worth while that’s spendy. Sure, I could buy a snazzy PSP, but there’s not THAT many games for it I want, so why bother? I got a Gamecube, because I love the games on it and I have plenty of them. I have a GBA because I love cheaper portable gaming. And the DS is crazy, so I couldn’t pass it up.
That’s what makes the next generation of gaming systems tough. Don’t really care for whatever games the Xbox360 and PS3 are working up, and we don’t know what the Revolution is truly going to be like. Maybe that’s why I’m starting to love the longer term hand held systems.
Though with this Zelda coming up this fall, I better get my Gamecube running again.

Remember the good old days when new games cost about $25? I miss those times.

No, but I DO remember when games cost $60 in the SNES lifespan. I at least remember shelling out that much for a game, as did many other people. Now we're in a nice $50 range.
But don't worry, the next generation of games (X360/PS3) will probably be in the $60-$70 range, depending on how big of a game it is. That's the problem, games are getting too big. Now big games are good, but when all of them need multi-million dollar budgets to be made ... we won't be having any games like Pitfall or Tetris that were each made by ONE person each.
Still, the Nintendo Revolution is looking to make a system that's very easy and very affordable for companies. Easier to work worth, the more freedom to do crazy things with whatever the system does. And the good old GBA will be around for a while.

Gameboy games used to cost about $25-$30.
I don't think we need more expensive games, just good ones. Asteroids is still one of my favorite games.
edit: don't get me wrong though, I'm totally into getting the new Zelda and a couple more games this year.

Anything with "Zelda" in the name is worth the money.
Besides that, I've yet to run into any REALLY good games...
I'm still planning on buying an SP so I can play Pokémon Ruby though...

Yes, thats right Andy. Games these days are getting funky. The president of nintendo is a genius. All the Gaming Companies just need to slow down and take it easy. I mean, who's really gonna want to drop $500 dollars for a PS3? Possibly $350 for the X-Box 360? Nintendo will be the cheapest. Thats part of the reason the DS is selling so much more than PSP.
When the New Zelda hits, many converts may turn to Nintendo.
