I have a eMac 10.4.11 I have 768 MB my Processor is 1.25 GHz PowerPC G4. I'll post more info on my comp later but I have to go to bed now.

P.S. I'm asking because I downloaded the demo(from macgamefiles.com) onto my computer and it said when I tried to start up the game that it didn't run on my system

According to the requirements, it's coded for Intel-based Macs, not PowerPC.

System Requirements

* Mac OS X 10.4.8 or later
* 1.83Hz Intel processor (2GHz recommended)
* 512MB of RAM (1GB recommended)
* 64MB video RAM (256MB recommended)
* 3.5GB hard disk space; DVD drive
* Internet multiplayer requires broadband connection

Unfortunately, it won't run on PPC architecture.. It's mean for Intel-only.

The only way to fix this is to buy a newer Mac. It sucks, I know, I'm in the same boat.
