Here's the download link for Shockwave:

According to Adobe, the Shockwave player has not yet been ported to run without support on Intel-based Macs. To successfully install the player, you need to run your browser in Rosetta emulation mode. I've outlined the steps below:

1. Quit Safari, or whatever browser you use (if it's running).
2. Go to the Application folder, right-click or ctrl-click on the Safari icon and select "Get Info" from the list.
3. The Info dialog window will appear. Under the "General" heading, select "Open using Rosetta".
4. Close the Info dialog window.

Safari will now run in Rosetta emulation mode, enabling you to install the Shockwave player without any problems.
