I Can't install and play the original "C&C The First Decade" disk on iMac 2013

Has anyone had the same issues while installing the game?

When I installed the original C&C The First Decade CD ROM, but when I tried to get the game started, my iMac doesn't seem to support it. The CD ROM box says Windows OS...no Mac so I'm assuming I would need something to make it work.

I then went to the EA website and I was able to download and install the EA App and I found the game under "All EA games under one roof" catalog, strategy genre.

However, when I select the any of the C&C options, I get the following error when trying to upload the page: "Application error: a client-side exception has occurred while loading http://www.ea.com (see browser console for more information)."

Can anyone help?

    EA_Mako,

    Thank you kindly for the response.

    I'm going to try again with my Windows laptop but I had a similar issue because it is a Windows 11 and for some reason it didn't like to run the game after I installed. I may need to download an app or software that allows my newer laptop to run old .exe programs.

    Do you have any recommendations about that option?

    Hey sionuno​,

    Unfortunately, the vast majority of the Command & Conquer titles, particularly the older ones, are only available on Windows. While an internet search will turn up a number of options to run Windows programs on a Mac, I'm afraid those would not be supported options that we could suggest, help set up, or troubleshoot directly. 

    The main title you might see available for Mac would be Command & Conquer Rivals, as a mobile app through the Apple store. 

    If you're seeing that error in the EA app itself, it may help to clear the cache with these steps - just keep in mind that while you're able to launch a Mac version of EA app and may see the same games as on the website here, that doesn't make them compatible with Mac sadly.
