The Mac has historically not been a gaming platform, but in the past couple of years, more and more games have been 'ported' to or created for Mac OS. As the hardware in modern Macs are similar to modern PCs, unlike older Macs which use the PowerPC platform (and are therefore significantly different compared to ordinary PCs), gameplay is no longer significantly different between the two platforms. Some alterations to the game are required to suit the Mac's keyboard layout and different system software.

	The '''Apple Mac''', originally known as the Macintosh is a ~~vast~~ line of computers manufactured and retailed by Apple Inc. The ~~initial release of~~ the ~~first Mac was on January 24, 1984, followed by one of its biggest retail competitors, [[Microsoft Windows]] in 1985~~. Macs ~~currently~~ run on their own ~~software~~, Mac OS~~. Despite being partly related to the [[PC]] family~~, ~~the Mac has not been such~~ a ~~largely traditional platform for~~ [[~~Grand Theft Auto~~]] games yet the game play is rather smooth with no significant differences to the PC. As it is the newest platform to serve GTA games, slight alterations were made from the PC port in order to suit the Mac’s key commands and operating system.		The '''Apple Mac''', originally known as the ''Macintosh'', is a line of computers manufactured and retailed by [[Apple\|Apple Inc]]. The most common Mac computers are the iMac and Macbook Pro. Macs run on their own operating system, Mac OS, unlike a [[PC]] which typically uses Microsoft Windows or Linux.

	~~==Description==~~		The Mac has historically not been a gaming platform, but in the past couple of years, more and more games have been 'ported' to or created for Mac OS. As the hardware in modern Macs is similar to modern PCs, gameplay is no longer significantly different between the two platforms. Some alterations to the game are required to suit the Mac's keyboard layout and different system software.
	~~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~~. ~~Unlike~~ the ~~PC version~~, ~~there~~ is ~~less community [[mod]] support for~~ the ~~Mac due to lack of interests~~. ~~One has~~ to ~~normally resort~~ to ~~installing Windows on a~~ Mac ~~(through Boot Camp, Parallels or Fusion), or use a compatibility layer such as CrossOver Mac to open or edit such files~~.

	==GTA Games ~~On Apple Mac~~==		==GTA Games on Macs==
	~~The following games listed all appeared as~~ a trilogy, ~~featuring all three games~~ on ~~one disk~~.		[[Rockstar]] and [[Take Two]] first released a Mac version of the [[GTA III Era]] trilogy in 2010. This was later made available through the Mac App Store, and then through [[Steam]] in 2012 [http://store.steampowered.com/news/7333/].

			Unlike the PC version, there is less community [[mod]] support for the Mac. To achieve full modding ability, the best solution is to install Windows on a Mac (through Boot Camp, Parallels or Fusion), or use a compatibility layer such as CrossOver Mac to open or edit such files.

			The following GTA games have been released for the Mac
