Games For ATI Radeon 7500 (32mb VRAM)?

Sacrifice for Mac is epic.

Will play well on medium to high quality settings:

Quake 1-3
Oni
Spiderman 2
Tony Hawk Pro Skater 1-2
Sims 1

Will play well on low quality settings:

Battlefield 1942
Ghost Recon
Command & Conquer Generals
Halo 1
True Crime
The Return of the King

Zen I forgot Halo 1 was on Mac. I gotta try that in the iBook!

I've got one of those lying around... I agree with what Zen said, and I'll add that Unreal Tournament to the games that would play well, and UT 2004 to the ones that can play fairly well on low quality.

Game hardware requirements are generally based on the minimum needed. If your machine matches those requirements exactly (as it does for Sims 2) then that means that you can at least play it with the graphic settings at their lowest. The answer is in the requirements for you.

I went to the trouble of separating what games will play well and which ones can if you lower all the settings out of all the games I play. Some games I have like Quake 4, Stubbs the Zombie and Halo 2 won't play on your eMac at all so I didn't recommend them.

Ill add:
No one lives forever
Return to castle wolfenstein

Both are really good fps games

(im sure there's something I have forgotten)

There's Jedi Knight II and Jedi Academy which should play just fine on your card.. which is basically an original Radeon with a die shrink and 50%ish higher clocks.

Halo is great. I'm amazed at how well it plays on the iBook with all settings maxed.

The first Red Faction game runs great on a system like that, as does Return to Castle Wolfenstein.

The game requirements for H1 are G4 800MHz and a Radeon 7500. Your iBook goes well beyond that with the 1.33GHz and Radeon 9550. I always crank up everything for it on my 1.8GHz tower.

Make sure you update it to 1.5.

I'm playing the demo currently, can that be updated?

Never heard of an upgradable demo. I doubt it.

You could find a Mac copy on ebay cheap maybe. I paid 30 retail at a local Mac dealer back in 2004.

Minimum requirements are just that-- minimum requirements. Things will be (mostly) playable at low settings. It says nothing about how well it will perform at its highest settings.

I surpass all of those requirements except the video card. My 9550 only has 32MB of memory.

These are the official minimum requirements:

Min OS X: 10.2.8
CPU: G4 @ 800 MHz
RAM: 256 MB
Hard Disk: 1400 MB
Graphics: 32 MB VRAM
