Basilisk II
One of the best multi-platform Mac emus. It can run upto Mac OS 8.1, can use Direct X (Win vers. only) to run any 68k programs in a windowed or fullscreen display, and has an easy to understand GUI (Win. Vers.). Unfortunetly you will need a 256k, 512k, or 1 mb ROM Image (none of which I can provide you) and you'll also need a copy of the
Mac OS v6.0 or above. Don't let that discourage you I have a
Mac OS v7.0.1 Boot Disk to help jump start you and a copy of the Mac OS 7.5.3 is available FOR FREE from Apple's website here. And if you really need help getting this to work goto:

vMac
vMac is another Mac emulator. It was the first Mac emu I ever used. It emulates 68000 based Macintosh Plus. This program also requires a ROM Image from a Macintosh Plus(which I cannot provide you). vMac is different in the way that it can run any version of the Mac OS up to 7.5.5. That means you can even use the Mac OS 0.8! Altough it only runs in black & white and in small fullscreen or windowed it is much easier than Basilisk II for a new user to the Mac emu world to configure and understand.
