Wow, that's quite a collection... I don't play much, but a few games I take out of the box and play once in a while.

iMac 17" Core Duo 1.83, 1/160Gb

Call of Duty, and Call of Duty 2
Quake 4
Doom 3
Medal of Honor series
Return to Castle Wolfenstein (oldie but goodie!)

I mostly like something I can get into quickly and get some frustration out. I have little patience for the games that take a long time and require thought and strategy

Really MoeXS my games is nothing compared to your list, since I have taken games away from my Mac into Play Station. On my mac I rarely play games now, and when I do it is a flash game on-line for 10 minutes or so.

We've got a podcast running for gaming under t-break/MEgamers and we talked about Mac Gaming in our third Episode. Here is the link for it:

I have everything by Spiderweb Software - the Avernum series, Blades of Avernum, the Geneforge series.

I also have quite a few "Diner Dash" style games - strategy sims where you have to serve customers in a restaurant and buy upgrades and stuff. God knows why such a game would be fun but they are, they have a sort of point-and-click addictiveness.

I also have a few things from Ambrosia - such as Pillars of Garendall and Uplink.

I also bought Strange Adventures In Infinite Space afer loving it on my Palm, but to be honest the game doesn't grab me so much on the Mac, even though it's more fully featured.

And I have Virtual Villagers - I LOVE that game! I first played it on Palm and the Mac version is even better. A new edition is coming out soon, see LDW Softare for details.

I also play a ton of Flash games which I usually find via Nordinho.

EDIT: and I nearly forgot - not a Mac game as such, but a game that anyone on a Mac can play: Kingdom of Loathing, and along the same lines the all-new Lake of Boating is returning soon (hopefully).

Istara, interesting post ! which Palm (Treo) version you're having these games ? I have a Treo 680 and wonder they work on them If they are, I wouldn't mind trying a couple of them.

I'm using a Palm Tungsten T5. There are heaps of great games for Palm, though fewer new ones coming out.

Redshift make a couple of really great role playing games for Palm, one of them also has a card minigame inside it (you play it in taverns) which is as good as many stand alone games.
