What did the teapot say to the chalk?

Nothing, you silly. Teapots can't talk.
I picked up SW: Dark Forces for the Mac at a Goodwill although I do not have a Mac. Am I correct in believing theres no real great emulation setup for old Mac (OS7) compared to DOSBox for DOS. I tried SheepShaver but it seemed iffy and I could not really get anything to run, although I may have configured stuff incorrectly.

Sheepshaver is really the closest thing, but it's not nearly as easy to use as Dosbox - you have to actually get install disk images for MacOS and install them on it. It emulates a blank Macintosh computer, not an OS. It's also, IME, not as fast as dosbox.

In general, if there are both MacOS and DOS versions of a game available, you'll have a much easier time with the DOS version; is there a reason you didn't just pick it up on Steam?

Alternately, you could wait for the XL Engine to be finished and then play it in that, if it'll load the Mac resources.
Well I mean it was 2.5$ complete in (big) box so I picked it up for the novelty and thought it would be fun trying to get it to run. I'll try SheepShaver again sometime and if that doesn't work out I will try out DarkXL.
