On my previous post about PowerPC games, I mostly only mentioned PowerPC FPS games. Now, I'll show you some diversity.
Here is my top 5 list of games that are NOT FPS for PowerPC (some support Intel as well)
1. Age of empires series
The best freakin' game on earth!! I was disappointed when I could not get Age of empires 3 because my video card wasn't good enough :( But I bought Age of empires 2 and I AM ADDICTED. This is such a great game, full of strategy, action, sometimes it's even funny when you have a million archers shooting at 1 person. This is game is so worth it!! I even got the expansion packs. This is the first time I am having so much fun playing a strategy game. (I had to quit my iMac for a while just to play this)
2. Pac man the X, older versions support PowerPC, probably not the newer versions though. Are you excited for something and just want to kill some time? Well Pac man the X will do the trick, just like the original pac man except with improved graphics. You might have a hard time searching this so I have the link here : http://pac-the-man-x.en.uptodown.com/mac/download/1098
3. Emulators, I'm a little of a retro gamer (especially with the old Nintendo consoles) I was in love with these games ever after playing Super Mario 64 at my friend's house. I figured that PowerPC computers are not bad for emulation. Nestopia would be for NES games. I had a blast playing Super Mario 3 with old 8 bit (?) graphics. Snes9x are for Super Nintendo gamers, I get great fps with this emulator. Put it full screen, and you get the real SNES experience. Now for the famous N64, Sixtyforce IS THE BEST!! Although it costs money, I thought of it as a rip off, sound runs HORRIBLY on PowerPC, I'm not sure about a higher end G4 or G5, but on my iBook G4 (1.33 GHZ) it's unplayable unless you remove the sound. Anyways, you can always find the great serials for rip off software :0 :)
go to Sixtyforce (top left) > about > registration > Username = HackWarester > Password > 60FORCE-9L70-H2CA-0EMD-03E7-17Q0 THAT SHOULD DO THE TRICK
I get about 30 fps on sixtyforce without sound. Good Luck
4. TUX PAINT!!!! Does your kid like painting? Well tux paint is the way to go, when I was little, I love stamping all the stamps on the app, you can actually make hilarious images with those stamps :) It's a freeware, try it out! Great time killer as well.
5. Chopper, another freeware, one of those 2d helicopter shooting games. This one actually has a campaign, you have to rescue people and kill hostiles. I recommend you not to play normal mode, you'll get destroyed by antiaircraft defences.
Thanks for reading, hope you enjoy, any questions? Just comment.
I'm noting here that I have 20 games on my iBook G4, I'm a big fan of desktop gaming, but what if you want to go somewhere With your games? That's one of the reasons why I got the iBook, you can transport the games with you. I wish I got a PowerBook due to the 64 mbs video card. 32 vram just doesn't exactly cut it. But I still got the chance to play plenty of great games!!
Have a great day.
