    You have to update to Snow Leopard (10.6.8) first in order to get the App Store, which is the only way to download Mountain Lion. Snow Leopard is about $30 and Mountain Lion is $20, so it could be a little pricey for one game. I think Snow Leopard is only available as a disk, so you're going to need to order it online or get it from a local Apple Store.

    First you need to upgrade to Snow Leopard and from there you can upgrade to ML. You can buy them at the Apple store:
