| There are some very good open source games that are Universal Binaries. Check out some like Tremulous, Sauerbraten, Neverball, World of Padman, and the like. They run pretty well on my 2.0 GHz iMac G5 17" ALS.

| Check out Ambrosia Software's games. They have some great ones, and I think they're all PPC-compatible. Some of them even run in OS 9!

| I'm pretty sure Colin McRae Rally, Doom 3, Ford Racing 2, Prey, Quake 4, and UT2004 are all UB's.

| I think there are quite a few good games for the PPC architecture (in fact, I can probably think of more problems the other way round, with games not working on Intel or not playing as well under Rosetta). So the good news is you should be fine.  How about... Alien vs. Predator Alien vs. Predator 2 American McGee's Alice Call of Duty (and Call of Duty: United Offensive) Max Payne Quake III Arena (Open Source version, ioquake3, too) Rise of Nations Gold Edition Star Wars Battlefront Tom's Clancy's Rainbow Six Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (free and Universal binary) |
