Howdy!

Receiving some PowerPC G4 machines and I would like to check them in detail.

If someone has a list of apps and games I will be very happy to check it.

For MS Office, 2004 is the single best version of Office ever made. You can even download the Open XML (docx) converter to complement this version.

I would like to see some users preferential regarding apps and games

'Best' is a subjective word. What I think is best, you may not agree with.

For instance, some think that Adobe InDesign is the best graphic design/layout app out there. Others would argue that QuarkXPress is the best.

We can give you lists of software that will run on your G4, but only YOU can decide what's 'best'.

Leopard:

- QuarkXPress 8
- Adobe CS4
- Office 2008 (see, I prefer 2008 to 2004. 2004 is not 'best' to me)
- Acrobat 9 Pro
- Suitcase Fusion 3

There's an entire PPC gaming thread here that contains a wide variety of recommendations spanning across numerous genres and it includes titles run under emulation (arcade, Atari 8bit etc). I haven't updated it for a while but you're bound to find at least one game of interest.

We have threads on each of these OS X versions listing compatible "apps & games". They are a good starting point.

I know that "best" is subjective, is just what is best for others, for me is nothing best at this moment because I just learn and test those OS's on G4, I am a mac user from Mavericks.

Doesn't Libreoffice support this and also 2008 MS Office ?
