A good thought, but in this case not the case.  It is some weird  
windows/mac hybrid and it does in fact mount without issue and the  
games work fine.  These are all small kids educational games.   
Previously I would just mount the image myself and start the game for  
my son.  As he can now manipulate the computer, I want to have it  
happen in the background so he can do it whenever he wants without  
having to do it himself.
