I just bought Tomb Raider Angel of Darkness to celebrate my brand new
15" powerbook G4 / 128 Vram / 1 Gig Ram. I've managed to setup Tiger
with a clean and erase install with the 10.4.1 patch. I've got one
Administrator account with two limited user account (One of them mine)
I'd like to allow the two limited account users to play the
game...without having to log in as administrator. I've configured the
folders to allow read/write all contents within for all users, and set
permissions in the user system preferences.

The game won't work....any suggestions / hints / opinions
welcome...Thanks

Any properly written application, including games, should run just fine
as a regular user. Contact the developer if there is some issue playing
their game.<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ -->

What I usually do, because I've encountered this myself, is that I've
all games in a subdirectory of "Applications" called "Games".

Log into your admin account, launch Terminal.app and type:

sudo chmod -R 777 /Applications/Games

Press 'return' and you will be prompted for your [admin] password.

This changes all subdirectories and files of the Games directory to have
Read/Write/Delete access to all users. I've found no negative side
effect on other users having this access as it allows them to run the
handful of games that might otherwise require individual [game]
installations- and I'd rather save the disk space and not complain to
tech support where I'm sure I'll get no results [therein].

PEACE!
