i bet quake 2 will run.

u can use the demo or if you have the cd-rom the full version.

check icculus.org or try emerge -s quake2

the install is realy simple

OK .. but what do I get when i emerge quake2 from portage ??
Am I able to play it like it is full version,since it is not an open source, or it is time limited ??

since the game engine is open-source you can emerge it

To play the "full-version" you have to copy the quake-"Full-Version"-datafiles to the correct location, thats all

i have quake 1 + 2 + 3 running on my ibook g4

i have the ibook with radeon9200 ..... where 3D-acceleration is available in the kernel.
(For newer radeons there is another driver that is capable of 3D i think ...)

But as far as i know there is no 3d-acceleration for nvidia available under linux/ppc.
