Looking for a simulator for my PowerMac.  Since I am new to the Mac world, I am
open to suggestions.

Thanks in advance,

At this point there isn't much to speak of, definitely nothing for driving
that is PowerMac native. I WORK on Macs, but play on PCs - and I guess
the market share and installed base are going to keep it that way. One
of the main problems with macs is that they are always running in what
PC people call SuperVGA mode  and even a PowerMac would have to crunch
pretty hard to get a driving simulation to run smooth - just talk to
the beta testers for NASCAR - in SVGA even 486/66 boxes are not really
usable.

There is a flight simulator for the Powermac (something Harrier), but
I have never played it. Play network games on a Mac - Spectre or the
old Armor Alley - much more fun to play with oither humans, and since
all Powermacs have ethernet it's no big deal to get a fast game
network up and running.
