Mac OS X for PPC (Mac OS 10) Mac OS 9.x (Main Page) Age of Empires III: AppleWorks 6.x: The Oregon Trail: Sid Meier's Civilization II: Multiplayer Gold Edition: Mac OS 9.2.2 for PowerMac G4 MDD: Age of Empires II: Gold Edition: Wolfenstein 3D: Caesar III: StuffIt Deluxe 3.x - 7.x: Fallout 2: Myth: The Fallen Lords: Prince of Persia: Toast 5. Unfortunately, just having Rosetta may not solve all your problems because some PowerPC applications or games require the classic Mac environment. In this case, you would need the classic MacOS 9 environment running on PowerPC. This can be done with QEMU or some other type of CPU emulator if your host computer is an Intel-based CPU.

What Macs do you Own? We posted a poll to see what computer has the most votes. While a G5 may be a decent day-to-day computer, the G3's are vintage and still can do some amazing things such as being the jukebox at a party or a kitchen computer, or go to extreme lengths and use them as your daily machine! The list is a bit long, so why not fill the text here! Quite a few people still have Power Mac G5s kicking around, and quite a few people have iMac G3s around as well. That's our guess of what still has the most ground in the PowerPC World. The PPC Archive team ourselves has a variety of machines, ranging from iMac G3s, Blue and Whites, iBooks, PowerBooks, and G5 systems! Some, still have Xserve computers that they use! Crazy thought, a rack server as a main PPC mac, but hey it's still a Mac! All the computers on the list to the right are cool, and each one pushed Apple further and further into the modern world. No other PC was designed like the early 2000 Apple computers. Today, there is a boatload of all in one computers like the current iMac. All the laptops out there are out to beat the 'ultrabook' MacBook Air. Companies such as Dell and HP attempt to steal the design that makes the MacBook Pro what it is. People look at the Mac mini as a excellent home computer or to make a super cool TV Media Center Setup, or even go to the extreme and use one as a server for 30+ iMacs! All of these design terms were the same during the PowerPC era of time! At the end of the day, Apple is still the one to beat! |
