iConquer
JewelToy
MacSwear
Myth II
Pac the Man X
Quinn
Simon Extreme
Solitaire XL

All registered/bought except iConquer and Solitaire XL. I have more games but those are currently installed on my computer. No more WoW folder, they takes up lot of disk space

BTW if you want a standard Games folder icon, here's one I made a while ago (include non-folder 32x32 icon for finder window sidebar): download

Hehe, mine looks strangely like eobet's folder...lots of emulators and interpreters (ScummVM, Reminiscence) with some old school-style games like SwarmRacer and Cave Story and a dash of modern games such as UT2k4 (WoW would be in there too, if the monthly fee wasn't an issue for me.)

Thanks for the icon, Adam! I've been looking for an equivalent for almost three years now. Blends in perfectly with the default set.

I play a lot of games, I just quit WoW after a 2 year mass addiction, but the best Mac game I've found is Quinn. Solitaire XL comes close, but does anyone have any other suggestions for freeware games that put substance ahead of flash?

iConquer
KiGB
MacSwear
Pac The Man X
GLQuake
Quinn
Reminiscence
ScummVM
Simon Extreme
Solitaire XL
ZSNES

Well I currently have no "Games" folder on my iBook G3, but my games folder as it was on my G4 tower and as it will be on my Mac Pro was something like this:

Quake 4
Doom 3
Knights of the Old Republic
Call of Duty 2
Call of Duty
Call of Duty: United Offensive
Lord of the Rings: Return of the King
Unreal Tournament 2004
Chessmaster 9000

Those are all the games that came in boxes and stuff, that I have sitting on my shelf.

Other games are:

Zelda Classic (Mac OS X beta HERE)

(Tip for improving the beta, Show Package Contents -> open ag.cfg in TextEdit, then change a couple of values, make resx = 800 and resy = 600 and sbig = 1 then save it and play one of the best video games of all time.)

Also,
Call of Duty
Call of Duty: United Offensive
Quinn
Big Bang Board Games
Myth 2: Soulblighter
Solitaire XL
BombSquad
TeamSpeex (not a game but nice to have)

Not a whole lot.

America's Army (Freeware)
SimCity 4

I haven't played SC4 in a long time, and AA I usually only spend maybe half hour or hour at a time (maybe a few days a week).

I was more of a gamer back in the days of Diablo 2, Myth 2, Unreal, Quake 2, Warcraft 2, Civ 2, AoE 2, Sam & Max...

Not really. This was in the days before South Park when people hadn't really heard of adult cartoons.
