Hi Ace. Was Pharaoh even released for the Mac? I know Caesar III was, but the sales of that one for the Mac were so disappointing (only a few thousands copies), that i believe they released Pharaoh and other titles for PC only.

If it is a PC version and you have an x86 Mac you can try Boot Camp.

If it is for PPC and you have an Intel Mac, you will need an emulator, which might be too slow. If you do have an Intel Mac, you are better off getting the PC version and running Windows in virtualizer or Boot Camp to boot into Windows.
