I don't think there will ever be one. MOL is virtualizing powerpc
hardware. There are other projects that do the same with x86 hardware,
the most prominent one being VMware.

I wouldn't even try playing most games. There is no hardware
acceleration of any kind available from within MOL, so no chance of
running games that have 3D graphics. However, I can play GliderPro
within MOL without any problems at normal speed :-)
