    There was a Mac OS X version of Fallout released some time ago, but I think it's not the easiest thing in the world to find.

    The other two games you mention didn't have Mac releases though, and a PowerBook G4 won't run Windows through VPC fast enough to be useful.

    If you have Blizzard games, you should be able to play those on there. Diablo 1/2, Starcraft, Warcraft 3.

    There is Fallout 2, Heroes of Might and Magic 3, Homeworld 2.

    Those are just some of the games I have, but they are specifically for the Mac. I do believe there's a few games for windows that just need a file/patch or somethin to play on the mac, I had one, but I can't remember what it was.

    Civilization 3 runs fine on a Powerbook G4, if you're into that.

    I have an OSX version of Fallout 1, I don't recall if I needed to use a patch, or if I bought it from Macplay already OSX compatible. I can't really check which it is, though, I lent it to a friend.
