There is a smaller number of gaming software titles for Mac OS X than for Windows, however there are places to find some. For example, in Apple's online store, you can find many popular action games here: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_mac/software/action_games?mco=NDA5MTQ

The reason for the limited number of gaming titles is similar to a broader question of generally fewer software titles, that being that Windows has a much larger market share than does Mac OS X. However, in recent years, the Mac market share has seen significant gains (especially in the consumer market), prompting many game makers, such as Electronic Arts and id, as well as other general software developers, to begin making their software for Mac OS X. Currently, almost all software has a Mac-compatible version or substitute, including many open-source programs and games. -To add to the above, In the past few years, the argument over Macs having less software was a catch 22 - The software developers tended to make stuff for PC because there were more people using them, and more and more people who were buying their first computer were using PCs because that was the platform the software developers were tending to create for. However, as said above, more developers are beginning to program software for macs, including some game companies.

How do you downgrade from Mac OS X to Mac OS 9?

You cannot without erasing your hard drive and installing Mac OS 9 from scratch. Even then Mac OS 9 may not run on modern Mac hardware because Mac OS 9 needs the ROM chip to boot. Modern Mac OS X hardware uses EFI to boot the system instead of a ROM chip to boot. Mac OS X v10.0 - Mac OS X v10.4 support Mac OS 9 applications and can run them, you just need to install the Mac OS 9 compatibility program which can be found on the Mac OS X Install CD.
