This guide is for operating systems released by Apple Computer between 1984 and 2001. For the modern operating system originally released as Mac OS X, see macOS.

Mac OS is the proprietary operating system designed by Apple for their Mac computer systems. It was also used in the short-lived Pippin. Its tenth iteration, OS X, has helped the Mac increase in popularity. Due to Microsoft's dominance of the home computing market very few commercial games are released for Mac OS. In the early days of Mac OS some games were exclusive (such as Myst and Marathon), but most of these were later ported to Windows due to its large and eager player base. Mac ports of Windows games were often handled by a different developer, and tended to be released much later (sometimes as much as six months after the original Windows release).
