I read in forums that I can install snowleopard, leopard, or tiger to play my ppc game (Sims 2). How to I go about this safely? Instructions would be greaty appreciated as I don't know how to do it.
Thanks!
You can run Snow Leopard Server under emulation in Parallels - the method is described here: AFAIK Snow Leopard Server is still available in the Apple Store (by telephone) at a reduced price and is preferable to using ordinary Snow Leopard which is quite tricky.
What version do you have on it now?

Right now I have OS X 10.8.5
From the About this Mac, click on More Info. What year is your Mac from, i.e. Mid 2013?
Mid 2013
It's too new to have Snow Leopard or anything older installed on it.
I found Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard in the apple store. Is this what I'm looking for? PPC games will work on it?
Is there anything else I can do to play the game?
Final answer: you cannot play PPC games on your Intel mac, as you cannot revert from your present version of OS X to Snow Leopard.
Buy more up to date versions of the games.
AppleWorks has been successfully run in Snow Leopard Server under emulation in Parallels, so there would be a good chance that PPC games would also run.
IMHO, it sounds like upgrading the game would be easier to do then running Snow Leopard under emulation.
