    Last week I went to Datablitz hoping to find a good game to pass the time (and finally maximize my videcard) I thought of buying Sims 2, but then I saw the recommended requirements and was crushed!

    Which games should run smoothly on a G4 1.67Ghz notebook? Thank you in advance. :)

    Download the Aspyr Game Agent. It's a nifty tool for checking if your mac meet the required specs to run their mac games. :)

    I play DoTA on my iBook G4. Every now and then the computer lags, especially when there's a lot of AIs. Have yet to try playing on BattleNet though.
