I have none at all. I'd like to get Tony Hawk Proskater though and that cool new gamepad with force feedback.

    I don't have many high-end games on my Mac, but these are enough to occupy me during those bouts with boredom.



    4x4 Evolution 2

    Bejeweled

    BlackBox

    DooMLegacy

    EV Nova

    glTron

    Jinni Zeala

    Oni

    Quake 3

    Racer

    RockNES

    Shapes II

    SNES9X

    Snood

    Star Wars Episode I Racer

    Starcraft



    All are native on Mac OS X except Episode 1 Racer, but it runs fantastic under Classic.

    edit: whoops. I forgot about Quake 3. It's been a loooong time since I played that , though.

    Which gamepad are you talking about? The only gamepad I know of that supports force feedback on the Mac side is the MacAlly iShock II, which I've considered buying.



    Oh, and I'm play right now Incoming, and Wingnuts (which I'd really like to get a force feedback gamepad for now that it supports them).

    Diablo 2 kicks @$$, and Diablo I had a very unique flavor that you might also like (for example, compare and contrast the importance of a Book Case in a Dungeon to a Magic Class from D1 to D2... it when from the thing to look for... to... well... um... a book case...). So both of those might strike your fancy. (Play online, Lan, or single)



    When it comes to Online RPGs, I can't reccomend many games other than: Shadowbane...



    What's the difference between a G5 and Shadowbane? Shadowbane isn't vaporware! <img src="graemlins/lol.gif" border="0" alt="[Laughing]" />



    Seriously, Shadowbane has been delayed, but it's now entering extreme beta, and actually will release with a Mac client at the same time as Windwos, sometime in 2003 (expectation is early, I'm betting on Summer 2003)...



    Imagine a world where you and your friends build an empire, battling it out with others, forming alliances, and fighing the good, err, well, fighting whatever fight you choose! Play to Crush!



    (Everquest, is, well, best described by it's second most popular name: EverCrack...) Sometimes that kind of stuff isn't all that fun...



    The Sims is pretty cool too... Great for all ages. Create your own family and friends, and see how they flurish, or, well, crap themselves...



    I'll let other people put in their two cents, but please, not flame me just because Everquest [explitive deleted].



    (Ok, Evequest and Ultima Online are both enjoyable. As is Dark Age of Camolot. This isn't specifically about MMORGPS, though, and Sony has publicly stated that Everquest is not a Role Playing game, in that they won't allow people to role play necromancers fully, or other criminal acts... Like taking a [explitive deleted] and [explitive deleted]...)

    The very, very best games, in my opinion, tend to be mods of good games. Half Life has great mods like Counter Strike and Natural Selection, just to name a few, and playing them has only costed the 1 game, and the rest has been completely 100% free. [Half Life unfortunately never released for the Mac, those bastards were going to, but then decided that they wouldn't allow Mac and PC clients to play on the same servers, Mac fans revolted, and Valve listened: They canceled the project. Maybe we should keep our mouths shut more often???]



    I've never done Quake III, or Unreal Tournament (I, II, or whatever), but look into mods for those games, and pick one that has a strong mod fan base. You may just be delitefully suprised by seeing some of the best games for released as mods for over 5 years (When the heck did Half Life come out, 1996?)

    The Sims, Age of Empires, Fly 2, and Myst 3. Those four games rock. I also am trying out a game called Zork: Grand Inquisitor from MacPlay.

    with only 8mb of video ram, my options are limited. But games like starcraft, cm3, warcraft3 and bubble trouble have served me well.

    Its mainly a 1st person shooter with a bit of strategy thrown in. It's been real fun playing since I picked it up at a used gaming store for 15 bucks.

    i'm not really a gamer, but there was a period of time when jack and i would play starcraft every night-- my goal being to lose less quickly. though now that i have a decent setup i really want to play again. i played black and white for a while on jack's machine, i like that too. ooh, and of course the sims, but i never really got addicted to it. i think they should market those three games for adolescent girls, black and white would really take off. better than that "purple moon" or "cosmo makeover" sh*t.

    Snood.



    Most importantly: DOOM.



    DOOM I, DOOM II, Ultimate Doom, and Mac DoomLegacy.



    If a machine doesn't play Doom, it's not worthwhile.

    I don't have a single game on any of my computers(besides the ones that come pre-installed), I sometimes play flash or java games online.
