You can get VirtualPC for your Mac and use that.
However, you can't play any games that require 3d acceleration, and you can't play anything that requires a high speed processor. It's an emulator, so if you have a 1GHz Mac, and the game requires a 1GHz Windows box, it's not going to work. I don't know exact numbers, but I would guess maybe 1/3 of your CPU speed.

Scott is right, forget it!! I, like you, wanted to do that and actually did install the PC emulator on my laptop. It sucked!! Game play was HORRIBLE!! (and I even had a top-of-the-line TiBook!!!) Do what I ended up doing. I went out and built myself a PC only for PC gaming. I put the majority of my money into the graphics card, the sound card, and a big harddrive. I am happy, again. I play the latest gaming titles and don't have to wait until they crossover to the Mac platform. I only use the PC for gaming. All my 'important' computing is done on my Macs.
;-)
PS - Overtime, a period of a year, I started to add some 'nice stuff' to the PC, mainly to make him work for his stay at my Mac house - but in the end, he still is a WinDOZER!!
