How to run classic on OS X Tiger 10.4.10

Hello Mac-users.
Before I got my MacBook, I used to play Diablo. Well, I wanted to play Diablo on my Mac too, but as I was about to install it, a message popped up and said, that my system could not open it. Maybe I need Classic Environment for my OS X Tiger version (10.4.10), but if I do, how will I be able to install it - if I can?
Otherwise, can anyone give me a clue on how to make my Mac 'accept' the installationsoftware?

I know this subject might have been up a few times, but I could not find other subjects that kind of answered my question.

How do I install Classic?

If you have a PowerPC Mac, you can install Classic several ways. The easiest is to use the system discs which shipped with your Mac. Older PPC Macs shipped with a separate OS 9 CD; boot from that CD and run the Installer. Newer PPC Macs shipped with two or more CDs or a DVD; if you have two CDs or more, on one of the CDs, usually CD 2, there will be an icon named something like 'Additional Software & Classic'. If you have the DVD, there'll be a similar icon there. Double-click that icon, and install Classic.

If you have an Intel Mac, you can't use Classic. You will need SheepShaver or similar.

When I try to run an application that was written for the Mac OS circa 1995 on my OS 10 machine, I get the message that I need to run the application in Classic but not other options seem to be available. Any suggestions?
