Help
I played Cythera happily on my Mac for some time, but now my Mac has croaked. Any suggestions on a similar game on PC? I don't see getting a new Mac anytime soon, sadly...

Not that I know of, and I doubt you'd find any other game with the same depth to it on either platform, I'm afraid. Of course, I'd be more than happy to be proved wrong.

Welcome (back?) to the boards,welshgirl14. Sadly, like BreadWorldMercy453, I'm unable to answer your question; I hardly use Windows, so the best answer that I can give you is none that I know of.
However, I can give you a link to this topic about playing Cythera in the Classic Emulator SheepShaver just in case that is of any help.

Lol, I have one, but she's bulky and sickly and she can't do anything without extra parts that I don't have -_- One time my dad took her to California on a business trip (she's a laptop, if that's not obvious), and she came back sick -_- Who gets sick on a three-day vacation? Something about virus protection, I don't know. . . I'm probably just spoiled from having Apples my whole life @_@
I'll become even more undignified than this

welshgirl, unfortunately, I have no answer for you, but if I were you, I would post a topic on Just Games asking for a decent Windows RPG with a good storyline. (If there is such a thing...)

Indeed, I've been spoiled the same way, although I'm not going to complain.

I support PCs, but I live on a Mac.

Macs are the best! I won my laptop almost exactly a year ago! About two weeks, I think, until it was a year ago.

I wish more of the CRPGs would be RPGs like Cythera, and not just fight sims.

Woah, woah, woah! Slow down! I need to translate here!
Character Role-Playing Game?
Role-Playing Game....
What's a fight sim?

Uhuh. Gotcha. I don't know any fight sims.
A good one if you like Cythera is Avernum 4, which I believe runs on Windows as well. The demo bugs me, because you can't get past a set point, just when things start getting interesting. Luckily, you can buy the full game for US$19, and believe me, it is worth it.

CRPG = Computer Role Playing Game
(at least I think so and that's how I use it)
Exile, (produced, along with Avernum and other CRPGs by: Spiderweb Software) Is also good. Fighting/Leveling Up is more important than I like, but the story is strong/complex/deep enough to handle it.

No, it's Classic Role Playing Game, I think. Ones with top views instead of FPP (first-person perspective) and not absurd violence and sickening graphics. Clean, deep-storied, crude imaged, top viewed, old RPGs.

Jehezekel has it right. CRPG might mean something different to some people, but the accepted meaning is Computer Role Playing Game.
