A '''Personal Computer''' (or '''PC''') | A '''Personal Computer''' (or '''PC''') refers to a desktop or laptop computer that is used for personal tasks such as browsing the Internet and gaming, rather than business or server functions. The name PC is generally given to computers running Microsoft Windows operating systems, rather than [[Apple Mac]] or Linux operating systems. In relation to the [[Grand Theft Auto]] series, the PC has long been a traditional "platform" for GTA games. | ||

The '''Apple Mac''' (also known as the Macintosh) is a line of computers made by Apple Inc. Apple Mac computers are usually white or silver in colour. It is possible to play Grand Theft Auto Games on the Apple Mac, except that they have to be ported for the Apple Mac. Due to majority of people owning PC's over the Macs, or generally the PC being more well known, Rockstar and Take Two did not really focus on this Platform as much, though did generously decide to release a mac version of the trilogy, featuring three GTA classics on one disc in 2010. Unlike PC's, it is not possible to mod Mac alone due to incompatibility of files such as exe files. One has to normally resort to installing windows on a Mac (through Boot Camp, Parallels or Fusion) to open or edit such files. | |||
