Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast
Return to Castle Wolfenstein
Medal of Honor

The first two should play really well. Medal of Honor should be decent.

Neverwinter Nights ran just fine on my 800MHz G4 iBook. HIghly recommended as a lappy game. I would think it would do just fine on an 800MHz G3, but if in doubt dl the demo.
Curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal!

Unreal Tournament and Quake3Arena should run great. (I ran them on my old iMac 400 MHz.) And Oni, if you can get your hands on it.

If you want an unusual FPS, try Nanosaur II.

Deus Ex

Alien vs. Predator

Heretic II (which I think is a great game, and I'm not real big on 3rd person view)

I'll second Wolfenstein

Ghost Recon
Gee, I hope they're friendly..........

Alien vs Predator is great and runs on my G3 500 iBook.

Black and White (the god game) will run well too.

As always I would recommend a SNES / Genesis emulator. They're great fun and work even on old machines.

I've been running the original sims on the G3 466 Mhz iBook.

It runs PERFECTLY. No lag, etc.

Albeit, I have 576 Mb RAM and a 60 GB HD.
MacBook Pro | 2.16 Ghz CD | 100 Gb HD | 2 Gb RAM | 10.4
iBook Clamshell | 466 Mhz | 60 Gb HD | 576 Mb RAM | 10.4
