Game(s) For Mac PowerPC II It’s always fun have some games installed on your computer. I know many people say that Mac users are not as into games as the average PC’er, but it turns out that they were wrong! Just check the App Store and see that most of the apps are games for iPodTouch/iPhone/iPad. The funny thing about it is that the simple games are taking over, ex: AngryBirds, Smurfs Village, Where’s Waldo?, etc. If you are looking to have some fun with your PowerPC, these guys decided to make a project that supports the old processors and have released a new game entitled Furiod. We had a chance to check their previous game called Marball Odyssey, and I think the PowerPC showed them some support because now we’ve got another one for our own entertainment!

* Furiod – (1.6 Beta1) – They’ve also left a message for us: “Is awaiting for your feedback dear PPC users! Let me know if you’re able to hear music (intro/ingame/extro) and if it runs at a decent speed? I’m only using an Emulator (PearPC for Dev and testing so I don’t know really:)” If your goal is finding more classic games, I will strongly recommend this web-site called – They have an amazing number of discontinued games and software available for download that you should not miss out on!

Most of them work for old macs (look who’s saying old macs) but I mean Mac OS 8/ Mac OS 9 and the Mac OS X and later. Just look around and I guarantee you that you will find great things on this site!!!u that you will find great things there.

It’s a strange quirk that software becomes obsolete much quicker than hardware. You can still buy an for less that will read disks created on a Macintosh Classic from 1990. And yet there are apps written for that won’t run in just seven years later. Documents that you access regularly naturally survive the passage of time because they get migrated from one format to the next, as you upgrade your Mac. But the dusty box of floppy disks with that unfinished first novel in MacWrite and your father’s carefully researched family tree in an old version of FileMaker Pro are unreadable binary detritus on a modern Mac. Being able to run old software is the best way to rescue these files, but old Mac apps can be fun too.

Even though we undoubtedly live in a golden era of computer and video games, there are still some genuinely worthy classics from the ’80s and ’90s. And you don’t need to lovingly restore an actual Macintosh Plus just to play Lode Runner. Modern Macs easily have enough horsepower to emulate the older Mac operating systems.

Many of the old 8-bit games are still surprisingly playable Virtually a PowerPC Let’s start with OS X. A lot of apps originally developed for 10.5 Leopard or 10.6 Snow Leopard won’t run on later versions. Snow Leopard was also the last version of OS X to support PowerPC processors. So, if you have any software that originally ran on a G3, G4 or G5 Mac, that’s as far as it could be upgraded. Unfortunately, running Snow Leopard isn’t as simple as just taking the original install DVD and putting the system on an external drive.

An operating system from five years ago doesn’t have the right drivers for lots of the hardware on a modern Mac, such as a Retina display or USB 3.0 ports. Instead, you should use either. Either of these can create a virtual machine that runs within your existing OS and allows you to install and run a completely different operating system on top of that. The virtualisation software takes care of interfacing with your modern hardware, so it works even with older operating systems. The only tiny complication is that Apple’s licensing agreement doesn’t allow the regular edition of Snow Leopard to be installed on a virtual machine, so you need to buy a copy of Snow Leopard Server instead. This works just the same as the regular edition of Snow Leopard (apart from some system administration features that you’ll never use) but handily, it will also install correctly under Parallels Desktop or VMware Fusion. You can pick up a copy of on eBay for about £50/$60/AU$85, as long as you avoid getting a copy with unlimited licences.
