When I tried to install Warcraft III I got this nice message that says:
You can’t open the application “Installer.app” because PowerPC applications are no longer supported.
So what's the best way to run Warcraft III on a Mountain Lion?
There are a few articles online regarding PowerPC apps, but I would like to have an answer here as well.

Two ideas I can think of. First, dual boot with OS X 10.6, which still supports Rosetta.
The other is to obtain a copy of Snow Leopard Server, which had a license which allowed you to run it in a virtual machine. (The license for normal SL did not allow you to run it in a VM. Lion and Mountain Lion changed the license to allow it.) Then use Parallels or VMWare Fusion to run it. However, I don't believe the graphic support is very good with guest OS X machines, so it may not run well.
Even if you can find a way to install the app, IIRC Warcraft III was a PPC binary for the game as well, so you'd still be stuck.
