Hello.
If you're planning on running the treasures of the past you'll find here on real old Macintosh hardware from the 90's, you sir/madame, deserve to win an Internet for doing it THE ONLY CORRECT WAY! But for others, there's QEMU, a PowerPC emulator capable of (slowly) running Mac OS X 10.5 down to Mac OS 9.1, SheepShaver, a fake PowerPC emulator capable of running Mac OS 9.0.4 down to Mac OS 7.5.2, Basilisk II, a 68040 emulator, capable of running Mac OS 8.1 down to 7.0. Finally, for everything older than System 7, there's Mini vMac.
Quick tip about Basilisk II if you do not have a real old Mac: v1.4.2 from 2008 can read/write high density (1.4MB) Mac floppy disks using a normal PC floppy drive! I salvaged many old files using it while 5 different Windows apps failed at the task. I highly recommend backing up all your floppy disks using Basilisk II before it's too late!

Don't want to set up an emulator? Just want a quick nostalgia vibe IMMEDIATELY? Instantly play Sim City 2000 under Mac OS 7.5.3 IN YOUR BROWSER or play Sim City 2000 under Mac OS 8.1 IN YOUR BROWSER! NEW! But wait, there's more! Since April 2022, you can now emulate Mac OS 9.0.4 IN YOUR BROWSER!
