Mac OS 9.0 Games?

edited April 2009 in Help / Advice Forum
I recently pulled out the '98 iMac from my closet and started messing around with it for nostalgia sake. There's really not much I need it to do since I have a couple other main computers, so I figured I would load it up with some classic games. Problem is, I'm having a tough time remembering/finding any decent games that would work on this beast. Any ideas?

It's currently running Mac OS 9.0 with 64mb RAM, ~16gb HDD space, and what I think is a 233hz processor, but I'm not totally sure; I may upgrade the RAM to 256 or 512 if I feel the urge (since it's only a few bucks), but for now that's what I'm working with.

I've already got the obvious choices (Starcraft, Warcraft, Diablo) installed, I'm looking for any other suggestions.

    Get the Escape Velocity series by Ambrosia Software.

    There's an old game by the same publisher called Ares that was pretty good as well.

    The original Age of Empires!

    I loved that game so much.

    Yeah, I have this same problem - got an old iBook and I need software for it.

    I'm looking for games like Stunt Copter but I can't find it anywhere, it's like the internet has forgotten about it.

    Also the original Kid Pix I remember from school...

    I totally want to play shuffle puck for Apple II again. I wasted so much of my grade school experience on that game!

    If you can find it, Alpha Centauri is pretty awesome.

    I think Glider Pro is free now.

    And I just recently found Stunt Copter that will run on OS X!
    Anyway, I will link it is I find it (and I think the original was with it) again.

    Oregon Trail?

    Fifth'd. Yes it's that good. I can't evaluate how many hours i've spent playing that.

    The entire marathon series is also awesome, and free to boot.
