Finally, after so long, Aspyr now ship Return to Castle Wolfenstein!!!
I've waited half a year for this to happen, first expecting Activision to do it, then praising Aspyr for taking the job...

What about the system requirements? This page ( http://www.aspyr.com/mini-sites/rtcw/ ) says a Radeon or GeForce is required.

The multiplayer test version runs fine on the Rage 128 in my iMac, if you turn the resolution and detail down a bit. I'd like to know if this is also the case with the full-release version-- before I waste 50 bucks. Can anyone confirm this, or at least offer reasonable speculation?

I think I remember that game. Wasn't it popular last year?

I have a beta. It runs well on my iMac, but I've only tried in OS 9 with virtual memory turned on and 500Mb dedicated. All effects turned down. It's playable, but not really good, but in OS X, the single-player mode struggled on all my systems when in large areas(outside) with all the eye-candy.

This is a good game if you wish for a good multi-player, but for single-player, your iMac would be better off with games like Rune...

In short, it would depend on a few things. OS 9 or OS X, speed of processor(500Mhz OK) memory(give it a lot) and how much eye-candy you want to see.

I also tried to play it booting from 9.2. Couldnt get that to work either. Pretty freaking lame if you ask me.
