I have an old IMAC M5521 that seems to have OS-9? on it (one of those clear blue plastic things), it boots up, but none of the apps work, I don't have any software for it. Is there anything I can do just to get it to play simple games on it? Afriend of mine paid $20 for it, I would have kept the $20 myself.

Yeah, what Mac SK said.
If it boots up, go to the upper left and select About this Mac or it might be About this Computer. The window that pops up will tell you what OS it has.
So, you've never used a Mac before?
