I really love my brand new Mac...except that I cannot play my favorite game of all time anymore.

I have heard that I could buy a copy of Windows in order to still play Star Trek Armada II, but that seems pretty pricey.  I have also heard that there are a number of emulator programs that will let me do the same thing.

Can anyone advise me on one of these that works for Armada II & provide any tips that I need to know in order to make it work?

I think that wine (http://www.winehq.org/) can be used is Mac (those that have Intel CPU).
I don't know much about macs, but I can play Armada II with wine (In my linux pc).
