QEMU :) you can download the latest version (it's Intel, but will run just fine in Rosetta), follow the instructions (make sure to run the script that enables all the libraries within QEMU to run; otherwise, macOS will block them and you'd need to enable them apiece, wasting a lot of time), and play around!

Mac OS 9 9.2

Mac OS 9.x, based on Mac OS 8 was the final product based on the classic MacOS architecture. Like previous version, it lacks true protected memory or pre-emptive multitasking. MacOS 9 was abandoned in favor of of the Unix-ish NextStep/Openstep based Mac OS X.
