What’s the best way to play AoE on a MacBook? I can’t afford a dedicated game rig so any pointers would be of great help.

- Sakos 4y agoThis is what I found for the M1 https://old.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/ms8081/age_of_empires_ii_definitive_edition_on_m1_with/ https://old.reddit.com/r/macgaming/comments/ms8081/age_of_em... Seems to work fine with Wine and Crossover.
- steivan 4y agoI use a small machine at Paperspace (P4000 with 100GB) and play it remotely with Parsec. The experience is very good and costs me about 10-15$ a month.
- moffkalast 4y agoHow is it that a modern laptop manages to be worse at gaming than the average PC 20 years ago? Surely you one can at least run it in an emulator of some kind?
- qwytw 4y agoYou can just run with Wine, it seems to work mostly fine. Also you could probably just install ARM Windows in a VM, not sure how good is the Windows translation thing compared to Rosetta though you might end up with a worse experience than just by using Wine.
- rwalle 4y agoProbably not the answer you were expecting, but you may want to consider getting an Xbox Series S (that is often on sale at $250 or even $200), plugin your mouse and keyboard and you'll have a great experience. Yes that is a "dedicated game rig" but much more affordable than a usable gaming PC. Of course, only if you also play other games on that xbox and can live with no disc. This is what I would do in your situation.
