I will happily do so, I'm up for suggestions as to what software I could use to accomplish this?

I don't know any games specifically for Solaris/SPARC, but some random thoughts if you want to try games...

Minecraft - needs a new enough Java installation, however, it also requires some native libraries (LWJGL, OpenAL, JInput; see ~/.minecraft/bin/natives) and I guess that the MC Launcher does not provide these for Solaris/SPARC. Since they are open source you might be able to compile them yourself. Or download them from repositories if available.

Minecraft server shouldn't need those so it should be easier to run. It might run quite well.

Minetest - an open source Minecraft-like game engine.

Xonotic - an open source FPS game based on Darkplaces engine (a Quake engine port).


I don't know if endianness can become a problem if you want to play over network. Old SPARC versions are big endian but newer versions seem to support bi-endian mode (with little endian data access).
