Well, if the game is a DOS game, you can use Dosbox. If it was Windows game from the PPC era game, you can use a Virtual Machine with XP or whatever installed and run it. Or use a Wine Wrapper to use it.

Search for Paul the Tall in Google, he has loads and loads of wrappers for old windows games. :)

it's actually a MAC game that stated that it was no longer supported when I tried to run it.

Apple's backwards compatibility is near enough non-existent. Older apps and games will not run like they can on Windows.

Could you tell us the exact message that you get when you try to run the game? Also could you tell us exactly how long ago this version came out?
