Guides on emulating older games
You take Ten, the Bearer of Light, through his journey to Shambhala to confront the Bearer of Dark so that balance can be returned to the Universe. To find Shambhala, he must gather the pieces that make up the "road to Shambhala" from different locations and time periods - China, Ireland and the Yucatan. You begin aboard a ship in the mountains of Tibet, which acts as a home base. As the pieces are found and put in place, Ten is mystically transported to exotic locations and will become different characters. Each "chapter" can be played in any order since each is self-contained with its own puzzles, objects and people. The game features a "point and click" interface, full 3D panning, puzzles of varied difficulty, conversations with other characters, and a fully-orchestrated musical score (MobyGames).

The game was released in Europe as "Atlantis II" and in the USA as "Beyond Atlantis".

Comments
Try install 8.6 on a new HDD image (min system spec) and install the game from there.
I have the full CD collection, got from eBay for ten bucks. All loaded well into SheepShaver under 9.0.4. including Game Sprockets and QuickTime. Game boots, switches to full screen 640x480, plays the intro video and then the game console is visible. But the mouse cursor is not active, can't move it or click anything.
