Good Afternoon -

My roommates and I have a mac-only apartment with 2 somewhat pokey G4 Powerbooks, one G5 Tower, and an Airport Express base station.

Can anyone reccommend good network-able games so that we can kick each others behinds?

Freeware, shareware, anyware - any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

Age of Empires II is a pretty cool game on a LAN if you're into strategy type stuff.
I build evil maps, then my girlfriend and I wirelessly team up against 6 computer AI players. :D

Call of Duty. - Great WW2 FPS.

Star Wars Battlefront. Great LAN games - a bit finnicky online.

Star Wars Jedi Academy - Great for Lightsaber duels both LAN play and Internet with hundreds of servers.

Defiantly Unreal Tounrnament 2004. My frieneds and I used to have Lan Parties (still do) with 4 macs, and 8 pc's it was sweet. Best game for lan partys. Runs well on most macs avobe 1ghz g4.
