Powerbook G4 Games Download
- I have Otto Matic™ and Deimons Rising which are great PPC games (works on OS 9 too) that came with an iBook, I could send you a copy of each. Other great games for PPC are Mars Explorer, Bitfighter, and Minecraft if you can get it to work. All these games work on Leopard.
- Apple PowerBook G4 (models with a Radeon graphics only). Tools, and Games folders. If you’re looking for a Web browser, it’s called OWB (short for Origyn Web Browser), and it’s in a.
- If you can run 9 on your PowerBook G4, do so. If you can't do that, you can downgrade to Tiger and use Classic to run classic Mac OS games in - there's a lot!
For native PPC OS X games, pretty much anything 2001-2006 should be; classics like Halo and Diablo 2. You cannot run Mac OS 9 on your Powerbook G4, unless you get a patched version that boots also on PowerMac G4 MD FW800.
I would run Leopard on both of them, and you will have Rosetta, PPC emulation
Both machines will run in classic mode, but only with Tiger.

You can also run old DOS software in VirtualBox, and very old Mac software in vMac.

Rosetta applies to Intel Macs only, PowerPC Macs will run PowerPC software natively (duh), so even if you're running Leopard, Rosetta doesn't really apply on those machines.
Also, (IIRC) VirtualBox is for Intel Macs only, there has never been a PowerPC port even in its early days. If you want to run DOS/Windows software on a PowerPC Mac, you need the Mac version of Virtual PC (you can download it on this site).
For Mac OS X, I can easily think of a few: Doom 3, Quake 4, Dungeon Siege, Star Wars: Jedi Knight II: Jedi Outcast, Civilization III, and Return to Castle Wolfenstein
If you could get Classic working here are few other good ones: Ultima I-IV, Descent I-III, Deus Ex, Doom, Quake, SimCity, System Shock, and Wing Commander I-IV
- Macintosh Repository has some stuff for PowerPC and archive.org has plenty of PPC stuff too.

The PowerPC G4 (74xx) is a brand name that was used by Apple Computer for 4th generation microprocessors from the PowerPC line that were developed by the AIM alliance, which included Apple, IBM, and Motorola. The G4 processors were marketed as powering the first 'desktop supercomputers', which included the Power Mac G4 (and G4 Cube), PowerBook G4, iMac G4, iBook G4, and eMac. Weighing a svelte 4.6 pounds, the original 12″ PowerBook G4 came with an 867 MHz G4 processor, 128 MB of double data rate (DDR) memory soldered to the motherboard (a single RAM upgrade slot allows upgrading to an official maximum of 640 MB, the same as the iBook – but OWC sells a 1 GB upgrade for just $31, bringing total system memory to 1.125 GB), an Nvidia GeForce 4 420 Go graphics.
