The Great List of Abandoned OS9 apps
The title says it all, untough I can't think of one myself. But I noticed a lot of people are still hung on OS9 or OS9 emulation in OSX for certain apps who are not ported to X yet. Or never will, because the company who made it closed it's doors.
Post your for X needed software - but frozen in 9 - here. Maybe some developers are watching.

Rune, Realmz, Civilization II, Summoner, Baldurs Gate, Diablo, and probably some more..
re: civ II
there is an open source version called freeciv that works in X11 or fink.
plus you can do multiplayer...
Its a bit tricky to install and get running, but it works great...
But still not os X native

And that was really the point of the thread... Its a lot easier just to install Classic!
ClarisDraw- yes there is Appleworks, but a few things were better with ClarisDraw, eg. save as EPSF (which worked well for getting drawings into MS Word) and the floating pallet for alignment.
There were a few pinball games I loved, e.g. Tristan, Excalibur

I have a Carbon ResEdit version which runs on OSX. Its the internal 4.0 release... Its not that good though, because its only updated to actually run in OSX, not do spiffy tricks..

Yes, there are some similar programs out there but these two never made the move to X. There is always the rumor that Adobe is going to bundle the Streamline functions into Illustrator but until then I will have to keep classic around to run Streamline. Fontographer doesn't get much use from me these days but I used to use it a lot and it would be nice to see the program updated with newer features.
I also wish that Adobe would make an ATM Deluxe (the program not the extension) for OS X. I know they won't but I sure do miss ATM Deluxe. I like it better than any other Font Management software.

ATM/ATM Deluxe is a terrible hack. ATM really makes no sense in MacOS X 10. However, I do miss Adobe Type Reunion.

Gotta disagree with ATM Deluxe being a "terrible hack". It was by far the simplest and strongest font manager under OS9.
I have to disagree with you about ATM Deluxe. Just like Thorzdad I think ATM Deluxe was great because it was simple yet powerful. I never had any problems under OS 8 or 9 using ATM Deluxe and I use lots of fonts.
I can understand you not liking it but I don't know why you would think it is a "Hack"?
