Put a game on a flash drive, than use that flashdrive to play a game on a mac laptop?

For example, lets say i put doom3 on a flashdrive. if i plug the flashdrive into the laptop, can i run the game from the flashdrive without installing the game onto the mac?

... pretty much doubt it ( not positive ), they're two different animals; it'll work ( for a few games ) PC to PC and I would imagine maybeMac to Mac. I wouldn't get my hopes up.

If Doom 3 will run on a mac then yes, it would work. You could get Wine and run it though that. Also dont run new games off of a Flashdrive, it causes a lot of slowdowns

I'm pretty sure those two games won't work though I coudl be wrong. I'd imagine this would really only work with older games that don't take up much resources. Your read/write speed on a flash drive is going to take a major hit on game performance.

If the games are made to run on a mac, it will run on a mac. Look at the software requirements for the games. Or try Wine :P
