I have ot gotten into many games as of yet. I just bought a G4 500Mhz MP and a apple 17inch display. I am looking to get into multiplayer games now that I have the power too. (used to have a 333mhz imac, still do actually) I am wondering what are the best out there for a mac. I have played Unreal and loved that game. i am looking more for a RPG though. Thanks!

If you're only going to be play 2-player games (and it sounds like that is the case) I'd go with any real-time strategy game.
I really enjoy WarCraft 2, although I haven't played games much at a all in the past couple years so I'm not sure if anything better has come out.

Diablo (or Diablo II, although if you've never played Diablo, I'd start with it) can be multiplayer on Battle.net (Bungie's multiplayer servers).
And theoretically (knock on wood) Baldur's Gate (an excellent RPG recently released by GraphSim) should be multi-player in a month or two.

If you want an RPG, especially a multiplayer RPG, really your only choice is Diablo 2. Single player is just tremendously entertaining, but playing over a lan or even TCP/IP over the net is simply amazing. Give Diablo 2 a shot, it's definitely worth your 60 bucks.

Listen to Dung! Oh, and when you run it, make sure you give it *all* your available RAM (physical or virtual).

Be happy.

Might even want more than all the ram you have available. Sure RAM is kinda expensive, at around a dollar a megabyte, but who needs food or shelter when they have the lord of terror to contend with?
Seriously though, you're gonna need a bathtub full of RAM to run any of the newest games. Diablo wants about 75, but I've found it runs much better with about twice as much, and Deus Ex (an excellent single player RPG) requires about 150, and would prefer 200.
I'm not saying that you can't run either game without more than 128MB of RAM, I'm just saying that it'd help...
