1. How to Extract .zip Files?

Almost all the files you will download from TheMacGames will be in .zip format. We strongly recommend you to use The Unarchiver to unzip or extract these games on your mac. You can do so via other related programs too. But this software gives less to almost no problems extracting the games.

1.1. What is Password for Files?

All the .zip files you will download from our site will be password protected. To find the password of a game, you can click on the “Password for Games” option in the main menu. The password is mentioned under the download links of every game too.

1.2. How to Join Game Parts?

Most of the games on this site are splitted into many parts (zip, z01, z02, z03…..) for ease of download. You need to download all of them. To extract the parts, Right click on the part1 (can be .z01) and use Unarchiver to extract it. It will automatically detect all other parts and extract it into one single folder or file.

Please Note:

If The Unarchiver doesn’t work for you, You can also use alternative softwares like StuffIt Expander OR UnRarX OR Winzip.

  • Then write this: sudo chown -R 755 AppName.app
Please Note:
Do not write Appname.app, This is just an example. You must write the exact name of the game app, (e.g. sudo chown -R 755 Epic-Games.app). If the game app has a space in it’s name then put a “\” before the space. (e.g. for Sleeping Dogs.app put this: sudo chown -R 755 Sleeping\ Dogs.app).
