Cross-Platform LAN Gaming Suggestions?

Nowadays, though, we use our own computers, and have a significant ratio of Mac users - about 55%. This has brought up a huge frustration in finding games that work cross-platform (PC and Mac), and what exactly we need to make them work. We've only been reliably able to get the following working: Unreal Tournament (but the same game can get kind of old after hours of play), 4x4 Evo 2 (which we got cheap and was a great change of pace), Descent 3 (out of print and relatively difficult to locate.) This has to have been covered somewhere, but we've been unable to locate a resource for it. Can Slashdot Games readers help?"

Any newer ID game will work.
Any blizzard game will work also.

I know for sure that Quake 1 works under MacOS X. There's a recent port (GPL). Getting Quake2 to run should be possible too.
