Hi Teresa, Python applications are Python version specific. For example, if you have a program that requires Python 2.7 then you must install Python 2.7 and not any other version to run that application. Running a version of Python too old or too new will likely end up not working.
Also you must install any third-party dependencies that the game needs. If you need Pygame 1.9 for Python 2.7 then regardless if you have Python install the game will still not run because not all the dependencies are met. Hope this makes sense. So if you want to run certain games first read its system requirements, find out what version of Python it needs, what game libraries it needs and then we can help you get it running on Mac. Cheers!
