PowerPC games

Here is my personal list of top 5 PowerPC games (some support intel as well)

1. Wolfenstein ET (free)
It's a great fps game, offering a wide variety of weapons, smooth gameplay and great graphics. you don't need a particularly powerful computer to play this game. My iBook G4 runs this game very well, I put the settings low, but I get 30-50 frames per second.

2.Battlefield 1942 (paid)
One of  the old famous WW2 shooters, it offers a massive variety of guns, tanks, vehicles and aircraft. The graphics are not that good (even at top settings) but the gameplay is awesome, it might be a bit laggy on older and less powerful PowerPC computers, but just put the settings low, and you'll be fine.

3. Minecraft!! (free)
Yes, everyone knows the famous Minecraft!! You can't get the paid version even if you have an account, but you can get cracked versions on torrent sites. I have an account myself so I'm sure I can justify getting a cracked version. It runs horribly in singleplayer, but multiplayer is relatively smooth (30-60fps). Put the graphics low and get optifine.

4. Call Of Duty (paid)
Of course, Call Of Duty runs on the PowerPC, Cod 1 runs well enough (laggy during large gunfights) with a higher end G4 and G5, you'll get great frames per second. Cod 2 is only available for G4s and G5s with more then a 1.7 Ghz processor.

5.Emulators (free, some paid)
Are you a retro gamer? No problem, PowerPC can handle multiple old gaming platforms. My favorite is the N64, I had a lot of fun with that console when I was younger. I can run sixtyforce, it is paid, (you can find some serials though ;)) Nestopia would be for NES gamers, while Gameboy can be emulated by boycott advance. I'm not sure about other emulators, Ms-DOS runs fine with dosbox but I haven't checked out other ones such as the commodore 64 or the playstation.

Well, sorry most of these are fps games. I've been having a hard time trying to find strategy games, but I'll keep you guys updated.

Just pointing out that I will make more posts about retro gaming on the PowerPC platform.

Long live PowerPC!

For intel users, my next post will be for you.
