Quake 3 and Quake 3 Team Arena are amongst those rare games that included both Windows and Mac versions on the install discs. Sadly, since they were released in those days before Mac OS X was even a glimmer in Steve Jobs' eye, they came with installers that only worked under Mac OS 9.
The Mac OS X upgrade of Quake 3 is available for free download, however you have to have it installed in OS9 *first* - even then Quake 3 is a fickle beast: I installed it without a hassle on my iMac G5 a few years ago, and then more recently when I decided I wanted to dig it out again, I had absolutely no luck getting it to install.
