if someoe was to get the first gen iMac G3 back in August 1998 how would they go about fine-tuning unreal so it works well on such a device? |

The first gen iMac G3s were never particularly good at games and I doubt you can get Unreal to run really nice on them. It will run, but you'll have to turn down graphics details to get a decent frame rate. In fact, I seem to remember discussions of people who bought this shiny new iMac G3 only to discover it isn't as potent a multimedia gaming machine as they were led to believe. I also found the first gen iMac G3 to be compromised machines in a way - couldn't run older Mac OS versions and these programs with lightning speed, but couldn't run the (then current) OS versions and its programs fast either. Bought a used iMac G3 DV (400 Mhz, 8MB graphics if I recall correctly) later on as my daily driver during the early 2000s. It was at least capable of playing some of the games of the area, though remained a "low end config" for games.

@Bolkonskij these are my iMacs specs https://everymac.com/systems/apple/imac/specs/imac_350_indigo.html seems to run Unreal of the original disc fine at very low settings at 800x600 single line not sure how that would compare to my 400mhz Pismo

so on the pismo was quite pleased to find it runs nicely at 1024x768 at low-to-medium settings!
