I don't know if I would classify myself as a gamer, but I do play games.

Mac OS:
Rainbow Six
Rogue Spear
Quake II
Quake III
F/A-18 Korea and Hornet
Elite Force
Unreal
Hellcats over the Pacific

Mac OS X:
Unreal Tournament
Cro-Mag Rally

Rhapsody:
Doom I & II

Irix:
Abuse
Flight

At least those are games that I played within the last couple months (I do have more, but I don't play them regularly).

I used to play a lot of games, but now I don't so much. I like StarCraft & Brood War, Elite Force, both Escape Velocities (all Ambrosia games, for that matter, ESPECIALLY Deimos Rising), Beyond Dark Castle & Dark Castle, Crystal Quest (still works in OS X under Classic, btw ), Oni, Gridz, SimCity, Galapagos, Myst and Myst III (Riven kinda sucked), all 3 Descents (I wish they were Mac OS X native), Cro-Mag Rally, Loony Labyrinth, Glider Pro, and a bunch of other little games. Even though this list is hella long, I actually rarely play them.

Two games that I am looking forward to, though, are realMyst (it pisses me off that it's been on the PC for over a year when the original Myst was made on a Mac) and EV Nova. Oh, yeah, and PopPop.


There is one game that I will miss, because it's not being developed anymore (it was close to beta at one point, but then the developer couldn't finish). That game is Ragnarok. If you guys have ever played Avara from Ambrosia Software, Ragnarok was basically going to be a 3D Avara, complete with terrains and awesome graphics. I was SOOOO looking forward to that game, and then Ambrosia axed it.
