There are a few games that I would like to work on OSX. If you know of update to them, please could you tell me where to get them.
The games are: The Sims, Tomb Raider 1/2/3, Deus Ex and Driver.
I would very much appreciate the help!

For The Sims, if you do not use any expansion pack, here's the update.

TR1/2/3 DX and Driver do not run on OS X. DX runs acceptably in Classic for me on my 1GHz dual, Driver refuses to run unless you're booted into OS 9 directly, and I have no idea about the TR trilogy.

versiontracker.com and aspyr.com can provide all the necessary updates to the sims -- expansion packs or not.

Tomb Raider 1 and 3 run fine in Classic, though without hardware accelerated video. They run, but don't look as good as they can. Interestingly, though, they play better than TR Chronicles, which was Carbonized, but had tons of bugs that would cause the game to crash when you got to certain puzzles.
