well, my xbox 360 just broke and I need to send it in for repairs. I've played all of my wii games and now I'm just bored. so, while my box is getting fixed can anyone point me to some fun racing or shooting games that can be played on a 700mhz imac g3 with 10.3.9 installed. or any fun windows games would be appreciated too.
thanks-

You're in luck, you can get 2 mega awesome games; Mario Kart Wii and Cave Story (Mac version). Bon appetite!
 
if I get paid soon then I might just get mari kart. and I will check out this other game you've mentioned. thanks!
 
I know you're looking for racing/shooting games, but just to throw it out there, anything from Blizzard would run great on your iMac (except maybe WOW), and are the most addicting games I've ever played. (Starcraft, Warcraft 3, and Diablo 2, personally.)

Also, does anyone know if the Medal of Honor series would run on that machine? Those were always fun too. :)

Enjoy! :D
 
Mario kart wii is probably one of the best wii titles, at least in my collection. I was pretty dissapointed with the other ones we have, but mario kart was great. I've always loved the mario karts, and the wii one is the perfect blend of new wii features and adding old courses. They did some new things and gave back some features I missed from the first one. So anyways, I highly recommend it :rolleyes:

well although mario kart is a great series but I am really looking for something more of a simulator (like forza (these 3 weeks will suck w/o xbox))

sorry dude. I hate strategy games. especially wartime and rpg. I guess I have bad tastes in games but they are my tastes, and I can't change that.
 
I bet World of Padman, with details turned low, would run. (Nice shooter with bot or human opponents.) Anyway, it's a free download:

I used to play Descent 3 and the original Unreal Tournament on a G3--but they'd need OS 9 for best results.

I bought that game when I had my G4 iMac (800Mhz) and to be honest, it just managed it so I wouldn't be confident of it running well on a G3 iMac. Has anyone suggested Quake 3? That was OK on older machines...

Ghost recon(osx)
aliens vs predator
alpha centauri (sid meyer civilizations in space ;) )

Doom (emulator)
f/a18 hornet
A10 attack (os9)

Ev:Nova (not sure if it'll work prop. on imacg3)
Fallout

Battlefield 1942(laggy)
Bigbang board games
Rainbow six
Boom
Sim city 2000
Future Cop L.A.P.D (os9)
Madden NFL 2000 (os9)

If you are looking for a simul. Try nascar and maybe ford racing 2 but i'm not sure if that'll work fine on your imac G3...
 
Ah yes, Aliens vs. Predator! Definitely would be near the top of my list. Runs in OS X and creates the experience of being all 3 races very realistically. Plus, scarier than Doom 3 :)
 
thanks. you guys seriously rock! you have freed me from my boredom... now all I need is a job r_r
