I know this probably already exists. Going to do it anyway. Post any you have tested. Be sure to include any setting from default they required to get them working. If you have any requests, please post them. All these were tested in SS w/ version 9.0.4, unless otherwise noted.

Software that works

Castle Explorer - turned up SS refresh to 60Hz to improve movie-playback, but still choppy

Castles: Siege & Conquest

Civilization 1.x

ClarisWorks 4 - Mac OS 8.5 - Windows SS

Color Dark Castle

Factory

Hell Cab

Journey

Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time - works, movies are choppy - Refresh @60Hz

Microsoft Office 4.2.1

Mille Bourne

SimCity 2000

SimTower

Space Station Pheta @256 Colors

Star Trek: Starship Creator - Crashes SS on exit

StarEdit (the StarCraft campaign editor)

Software that does not work

Civilization II - Crashes SS

Ferazel's Wand (closes on launch)

Star Trek: Starship Creator - Warp 2 - Crashes SS

Super Maze Wars - error 2 when going to enter arena

Software I would like to try:

Pax Imperia

Kid Pix - want to indulge my inner child

Stuff I've tried

Works:

* Civilization 1.x

* SimCity 2000

* SimTower

* Factory

* StarEdit (the StarCraft campaign editor)

* Color Dark Castle

Doesn't work:

* Ferazel's Wand (closes on launch)

* Nanosaur and Bugdom (they do run, but with major graphical issues)

 
WordPerfect 3.5e is said to work very well — and there is an easy install SheepShaver package with all the fixings said to minimize the fuss, available for download over on the WordPerfect Yahoo Group site.

Mind you, I haven't tried or used it. In fact, I haven't even thought about using it. Having 40-odd machines in my basement able to boot the "classic" MacOS natively makes the siren song of SheepShaver rather untempting in my case.

Maybe one day when my collection of old macs is all dead through capacitor fatigue or crumbling plastics, I will run SheepShaver out of pietas on a shiny, new bazillion GHz Intel 64-core Mac Mini — but until then ... I shall soldier on!

 
Star trek starship creator work but not well. Star Trek Starship creator wrap 2 don't work so does Deluxe. I don't know about Star trek encycleopedia and techinal manual.

3d Puzz Norte Dame Cathedral work.

PS

Can it be fix so I can play Star Trek games??

 
Emulation is great when it works, but I never had a huge amount of luck with Sheepshaver. I find it much more enjoyable to put a real old PPC to use.

 
I haven't tried any games, but before I got Quickdraw 3d working I used Photoshop 4, WordPerfect 3.5, an anacrostic generating program, and Print2PDF, with great success.

Since getting QuickDraw 3D operational, I run Infini-D 4.5, the last release of Meshwork, the next to last release of Geo3D, and several of the Apple legacy tools, including TextureEyes, 3D MovieMaker, and MakeObjectMovie, (and Gerbils!) also with great success.

One of the guys over on the E-Maculation forums has quite an extensive list of stuff that he's tested.
