Virtual PC for PPC was a work of art. Some early version had Voodoo1/2 passthru which managed to eke out several frames per second in a game like Counterstrike. Although the emulator was good enough to let me play the network install of Starcraft at a LAN party on my souped-up PowerMac.

Was there not a spawn version of Starcraft for Classic Mac OS?

Probably, but this was in an age where I only had 56K dialup and piracy meant sitting in a queue in Hotline for ages. And I had no other Mac-using friends to borrow from.
