If you're planning on running the treasures of the past you'll find here on real old Macintosh hardware from the 90's, you sir/madame, deserve to win an Internet for doing it THE ONLY CORRECT WAY! But for others,
there's QEMU, a PowerPC emulator capable of (slowly) running Mac OS X 10.5 down to Mac OS 9.1,
SheepShaver, a fake PowerPC emulator capable of running Mac OS 9.0.4 down to Mac OS 7.5.2,
Basilisk II, a 68040 emulator, capable of running the 68040 version of Mac OS 8.1 down to 7.0. Finally, for everything older than System 7,
there's Mini vMac II (which emulates 68020/color Macs) and Mini vMac which emulates the original B&W 68000 Macs.
Quick tip about Basilisk II if you do not have a real old Mac: v1.4.2 from 2008 can read/write high density (1.4MB) Mac floppy disks using a normal PC floppy drive! I salvaged many old files using it while 5 different Windows apps failed at the task. I highly recommend backing up all your floppy disks using Basilisk II before it's too late!
Don't want to set up an emulator? Just want a quick nostalgia vibe IMMEDIATELY?
Instantly play Sim City 2000 under Mac OS 7.5.3 IN YOUR BROWSER or

But wait, there's more! Since April 2022, you can now emulate Mac OS 9.0.4 IN YOUR BROWSER!
AND THERE'S EVEN MORE! Since late 2023, intelligent programmers have been working on DingusPPC, a new emulator capable of running in Web Assembly (in your web browser) that can boot Mac OS 9.2.2 and even early Mac OS X releases! In parallel, a very old emulator called PearPC has also been ported to Web Assembly and both of those PowerPC Mac OS X emulators are now battling for which one will offer the most decent emulation speed in your browser. As of early 2025, both of those emulators can boot Mac OS X 10.2 in your browser, but even on a modern computer, it takes nearly 5 minutes to do it and then it's way too slow to be of any practical use... But who knows how fast they will become in a year or two from now? What a fascinating time to be alive!
