Hey, cool, it comes with the anti-ergonomic mouse! Those are guaranteed to give you Carpal Tunnel in less than a year with daily use!

It's for playing old games like doom and wolfenstein etc. Those ones are unable to run at xp without million of help programs while they run without a problem on mac os 9. Really if you want to play old games, get a mac.
And it's just for having it. I saw those ones 8 years ago and i liked them but never bought them. Now finally i got the chance to get one very cheap so i took it.

Well the mouse can be replaced ofcourse with a standard logitech, but since i only use the imac very little, there is no problem for me with the mouse. wink.gif

I dont think getting it for playing games is the best idea as long as you can install Win98 in a virtual machine or as a dual OS with Windows XP.

those run fine in windows xp.

you just have to know what sound card xp emulates for dos.

select sound blaster, and then apply these settings when asked

No offense, but if you want to play old games, grab an old Pentium preloaded with DOS/95/98 from almost anywhere for next to nothing. It's cheaper and, let's be honest, is just plain better for stuff like Doom and Wolfenstien 3D. Hell, most games run on a modern PC with DosBox (Which has recently become a lot more user friendly thanks to drag'n'drop support) and VDMS with no problems at all.

However, if you want to play Marathon (Bungies old pre-Microsoft game series), Mac FTW wink.gif!
