Due to my background I don't have even one single Mac game. I have a dozen DOS games though, and I was wondering if I could play one of those on my "new" G4 B&W with 350 MHz. So I installed DOSBox and launched my favorite game Ultima Underworld, but it is unplayable on the G3 B&W due to its performace. Works well on the Quicksilver and on the G5. So I'm wondering: I _really don't_ wont to inverst any more money on this. I already did too much for what I do with my older Macs. Are there any free Mac games out there that will play nicely on my G3 B&W? I'm running Mac OS X 10.4.11 Tiger if that matters.
