I've got a beefy Octane (4GB of RAM! dual R12000! MXE graphics!) but I honestly don't do much... At a time I used it as an X11 terminal but it's a bit too hot and loud even for that :)

Tranquility, Mekton, ElectroGig:3DGO, Maya, Lightwave .. so many fun toys to play with on Octane if you've got the gumption ..
My favourite game back then was "Certain Impact", but AFAIK it only runs on IRIX 5.3 (probably uses COFF binaries?), on Indigo2 High Impact with TRAM or Extreme Impact with TRAM.
Ooh yes, that is a great arcade-style flight sim, if I remember correctly. Worth keeping a machine around just for that! ;)
