Pangea Software is an Apple exclusive game company based in Austin, Texas that is owned and operated by Brian Greenstone. Founded in 1987, the company began as a developer of Apple IIGS games, with the first (and most notable) being Xenocide, which was published by Micro Revelations and sold in stores. In 1991, they switched to Macintosh development; notable titles included Power Pete, Nanosaur, Bugdom, Cro-Mag Rally, and Otto Matic. Since 2008, the company has mostly ceased developing Mac games and instead chosen to focus on iOS games,[1] due to the latter being a more lucrative market.
Pangea Software, Inc. Developing for Mac OS and iOS since 1987. . THREE GAMES IN ONE. IN STEREO 3D WITH 3D GLASSES Pangea Arcade is a collection of three blistering action games based on arcade classics: Nucleus, Warheads, and Fireworms. All three are action arcade games based on arcade classics that have been beefed up to the extreme with incredible graphics and sound, and have innovative new gameplay elements that make these twitch-games some.
Pangea specializes in video games, the majority of which are 3Dthird person shooters. They have a shareware/demo version available for download from their website; serial numbers must be purchased to unlock the full versions. In 1995, Pangea made a deal with Apple to bundle their games with Macintosh computers; this deal ended in 2006, when Apple transitioned to Intel CPUs and decided to stop bundling third-party software.
In addition to games, Pangea also specializes in panoramic photography services.

Pangea Games for Mac OS are some of my favorites. They may not be exactly what you are looking for but they are high quality and I believe they still offer versions (demos included) that will run on 10.3.9 and with your configuration.
Games, like alot of newer technology, is of course very reliant on the newer video technology. It's not impossible to play and find games that will run fairly well on your system but most newer games are really designed for much more upgraded systems than yours or mine for that matter.
I'm no expert about video cards but hopefully someone can post in and let you know if yours is good enough for which games etc. I know that you can always upgrade your RAM memory which will help.
