You may be interested in game which you can download from www.bzflag.org
which will run on all sorts of CPU environments, including ppc systems.
Bzflag is a "free multiplayer multiplatform 3D tank battle game". If
that doesn't rock you well....
I'm not sure why you would look for games; but rest assured they are out
there. This is just one of many. Doesn't anybody seriously work on
their computers anymore???

There is no way to turn morality into a weapon of enslavement except by
divorcing it from
man's reason and from the goals of his own existence. ...when it is set
to oppose his own life and mind, it makes him turn against himself and
blindly act as the tool of his own destruction.
There is no way to make a human being accept the role of a sacrificial
animal except by destroying his self-esteem. There is no way to destroy
his self-esteem except by making him reject his own consciousness.
There is no way to make him reject his own consciousness except by
convincing him of its impotence.

Better to die on one's feet than to live on one's kness.

Intellectual freedom cannot exist without political freedom; political
freedom cannot exist without economic freedom; a free mind and a free
market are corollaries.

possible --
not to have run away.

Be well...

You won't be able to run windows based games in this or any other WINE.
The problem is that WINE works somewhat like MOL does. It uses the
processor directly and does not emulate anything. There is a port of
WINE to darwin in progress which includes a WIN32 runtime library, but
the programs still have to be recompiled to run on the ppc processor.
