Escape Velocity Nova should play great on that Mac. Ambrosia is also working on porting the original Escape Velocity and EV: Override to be freely-downloadable plugins for Nova.
For 3D driving, Spy Hunter plays well on my dual 500 w/ original Radeon. Though, I'm not sure how much it uses the CPU(s) versus the graphics card. If you like puzzle games, Enigmo is 2D game with a 3D look that plays much like the old 'The Incredible Machine' series of games. It has a very low 3D demand and should play well. The 3rd-person fighter/action game Oni by Bungie (ported to X by The Omni Group) should play well.
Mac gamers, contrary to popular belief, have plenty of top games titles to choose from these days - indeed, the most difficult part is narrowing down the options, and then finding the money to buy.
It's a little old, but it has pretty good replay value IMO. Sin Gold runs really well and is fun Unreal 1 UT add the return to nai pali map and have fun in single player Oni what it lacks in graphics it makes up for in gameplay Rune very nice graphics some levels are horrible some brilliant FAKK2 is OK as well Among the newer games Return to Castle Wolfenstein and Ghost Recon ought to work decently (it does on my G4/400 but what is 'decent' framerate is a individual thing) There is that F1 racing game (I have only tried the demo) UT2003 only seem to be Qake 3 enhanced and thus inferior to UT. I recently picked up: Zork Grand Inquisitor Fallout (v1) Giants: Citizen Kabuto For 5 bucks each from MacPlay (on sale).

$25.00 total (incl. S&H) They've since gone back up to $19.99 each (Value Series)- still pretty good 'bang for the buck'. Originally posted by DMBand0026 Why the crap did you guys have to bump this thread??? First of all, you don't bump threads that are fast approaching a year old. Second, I thought we had seen the return of Applenut (the one who started this thread) Got me all excited there.now I won't be able to sleep. It was bumped because someone asked a VERY similar question recently, and Brad linked to this post for reference since he didn't want to have to repeat everything he said before. I guess people followed the link and decided to follow up on this.

Maybe this would make a good sticky (after changing the title to something like 'Best non-demanding Mac games').
