NOTES

  1. There was no v1.3 patch released for MW2 Macintosh. This only came on CD's and the the only difference from 1.2 is the installer and it installs v1.2.

  2. There was/is some confusion between whether the Pentium and Win95 versions are the same thing, but according to Dan Kegel, the Pentium & Win95 versions are one and the same.When Win95 version was originally released, it was called the "Pentium Edition" for marketing purposes. Later it was repackaged as the Win95 version which seems to also include DOS MW2 and DOS Netmech on the CD as well.
