Can I play on my netbook and mini-laptop?
Some downloadable games work on netbooks and mini-laptops, but these systems will have problems running newer and more graphically complex games due to their lower display resolution and reduced hardware power.
We strongly recommend trying the free trials that are available for most games to see if the game is compatible with your netbook.
Can I play games on my iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad?
Downloadable and online PC and Mac games are not compatible with these Apple mobile devices, but please check out our iPhone/iPad page to browse our collection of games designed for your iPhone, iPod Touch, or iPad. These games can be purchased directly from the iTunes App Store, and the list is growing, so keep checking back.
