Did you read the Mac tech support FAQ (http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=41653) ?

What system are you using? Could you quote the error message, please?

If it's 1.29, it is not the Mac, but the PC version. Hence he error. ;) ;) ;)

Does the save game have a little map icon with it? You might want to try and use a program like
infoX (http://www.macupdate.com/info.php/id/10139) to change the file creator to Civ3 and the type to GAMs. that might fix your error.
