I've got about eight 500mhz iMac G3s, w/256 ram, sitting around. I've got OS X.3.8 on them. Was wondering if there any multiplayer games that would run well on them. Duke Nukem 3D, and Rainbow 6 came to mind, but I don't have Classic installed, and have no wish to. If you guys could offer up some decent, older, game ideas, that would be excellent. Thanks.

StarCraft
Unreal Tournament could run ok I think.. maybe...
Quake3 will run
if I were you, go to www.insidemacgames.com and post this question in the forums there. You'll get better replies methinks.
At the end of the day it depends what your preferences are.
Yes.

Until a console will accept keyboard+mouse gaming for FPS games, I think of consoles as wannabe gaming systems. Not less fun, but nowhere near as "hardcore" as a well rigged PC.
... and then come back and say PS2 is a wannabe gaming system and not hardcore.
I like FPS's too, but from your list the only one I have played and liked was Doom. I have mostly played various mods (TeamFortress, Gloom, ActionQuake, Counterstrike) and single player only rarely (Wolfenstein 3D, Doom, Half-Life, Aliens vs Predator).

Feed your PS2 some of these:
Virtua Fighter 4 Evolution, Guilty Gear X2#Reload, Soul Calibur 2, Contra: Shattered Soldier, Gradius V, Katamari Damacy
