Users will be able to quickly identify which games will run on their current system and determine necessary system upgrades for any other Aspyr games of their choosing. Game Agent is an OS X application that automatically checks the user's Mac configuration- including OS version, RAM size, video card, and processor speed- and then, game by game, tells the user if the game will run well, will run or will not run on their system. It then gives a summary of hardware or software updates necessary for those games that will not run. Game Agent also automatically updates its list of Aspyr's games and their system requirements, making it easy to access current, personalized gaming information.

And others ( they Fly )Mostly this is because the requirements listed are a G4. The Only G4 games I have found so far that Do Not work (yet) are Splinter Cell It worked on my Bw G4 650 and Tron. Take this program with a grain of salt when it lists G4 required. As long as you have a fast G3 ( 900 and up ) and a ATI 9200 or equivlant and enough memory they will Fly I get 31-33 avg FPS on Halo 1.51 @ 1024*720 with my G3 1GHz machine and it sucks On my G4 650 12-14 FPS.
I didn't see this application around when I bought my laptop at the end of 2003. As that is the case, I'm going to take a guess that this application concept was put into production when everything was a G4 on the market. Due to that, and the cost in time that testing costs, it is likely that Aspyr only tests on G4 and G5 these days, making it quite reasonable why the 'required' specs are G4 on so many games. Besides this, the majority of apple computer lines aren't powermac, therefore are not video card upgradeable. For that reason, it also makes sense of Aspyr's apparent decision to concentrate on G4 testing. Also, whatever problems Aspyr runs into during testing, they are obliged to fix, which means more programming hours, longer production time, less time on the sellable market, creating a loss of funds that could be quite substantial. While I agree it would be nice if Aspyr bought a single G3 powermac and maxed out the video card and ram for a single testing machine, their apparent choice to concentrate on G4s makes the most business sense.
Yes, I like my G3 notebook... but I'll acknowledge that from a business standpoint in the gaming arena, and the current market share of the mac, and the projected potential market share due to the mini still makes the G4 the primary processor to have the majority of games tested on to ensure compatability and gleam the highest profit in the area. And to take the extra effort to make sure the power users who likely have the most money anyway with their dual 64 bit processors are not dissappointed as they are a current and a future clientel. The simple fact is that the G3s are the 10 or 20 percent of the gamers...the extra man hours to cater to the G3 clientel on a gaming level beyond child educational/gaming software is simply overly expensive compared to profit that is made currently on the mac platform... that's just all there is to it. That Aspyr is putting some money into the mac platform... that is investing... I'm thrilled about myself, even if my G3 processor is shunned. This Game Agent is an example of a gaming company investing in a platform in order to reap a potential profit. And I hope they reap that profit. While Blizzard does win out in that they have their cds at every store mac/win anyway(Every store that sells your game is as convenient as it gets), making Blizzard simply the most convenient for mac gamers, Aspyr is trying to create a convenience to mac customers that no one else has... through this standalone software product. While I would prefer that aspyr would make all their software include mac/win versions, the fact that aspyr makes for mac second is no secret, and while it gets them on the market longer for windows sales, it's something mac users have grown to accept in games in general. ~~ end of market ramble... lol

For those who make fun of the application, because they spent the big bucks... or the big credit on the newest dual G5s... I'm going to take a guess that Aspyr wasn't expecting all the G5 dualies to download this application, as there's not really a game out there that needs the power of a G5 dualie. As far as detecting you're system wrong, I suppose it could have, although it detected my system great.

don't waste time in this kind of software what say me what game works on my machine...
you need MAKE games what works in OURS machines!!!
All people knows "standard" specs from Apple machines and your work is give us games what run smoothly and great in our Macs!
The only way those specs change is if you get new parts for your computer and those are always better. I mean, who puts in a slower videocard or takes out Ram?
sorry for my bad english... its not my motherlanguage...
but, i wanna say ...many companies make games for our Mac's.... but what kind of them??
I mean, many Mac's around the world are not Xtreme machines ...today you can found Apple machines with Vcards with 64 Mb! or 32 Mb on iMacs-eMacs! and Aspyr (or others) make games "sooo bigs" to this specs... leting a lot of people without opportunitie to play this games. Its just an opinion....
