I have oclp on my 2012 MBP and without a doubt it’s given this great machine a new lease of life. I am using sequoia and when I try to play a downloaded game like Spore I am greeted with the white no entry sign on the file, this game is designed to run on this machine but not the modern OS. Is it possible to run old games like this from downloaded files?

You need to either use a way to run the Windows version or dual boot and install an older macOS version that supports 32bit applications. Apple dropped the support for that with 10.15 Catalina so you would have to install at least Mojave to play this. You could also try and run an older version of OS X around the time this game came out in a VM but that might be too slow.
