IRIX and Software

I have a couple Indizone games I would like to install on a O2 I bought recently. I know the release of Indizone 1 and 2 were around the IRIX 5.3 Indy R4600 days but I was wondering if anyone has sucessfully installed Tranquility and Pods on a newer system like the O2 running IRIX 6.3. I only have the tar packages no tardist which is the only way I knew how to install them. Any advice or experience?

extract, look for the binary, run it, report back
and welcome here btw

Chances are very good it will run. The big breaks in compatibility were:
- Introduction of 4D series, moving from MC68k to MIPS (~1986/87)
- Introduction of IRIX 4D1-4.x, removal of NeWS window system
- Introduction of IRIX 6.2, removal of ECOFF binary support (used for IRIX 4 and earlier binaries)

Some software wigs out if it sees a graphics subsystem it wasn't designed around, but this is rare (some Discreet apps don't like ODYSSEY, many apps that expect a Z-buffer barf when given XS (without Z)).
