I own Revelation. I installed, everything looked OK, no errors. Doesn't run. Any word on Leopard/intel Mac compatibility???

Had the game installed prior to upgrading to Leopard. Haven't played it yet, but I did start up the game. So far so good.. I was able to see my saved games. I will let you know next time I play how it goes.

PPC... ah.. didn't realize you were running intel.. I would test it on my macbook pro, but I dont think the laptop has the correct video cards

I just installed Myst IV on my Leopard/Intel MacBook Pro and it works! I had to fix the execute permissions on the game binary file, as mentioned in another thread:
http://forums.ubi.com/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/580100736/m/5471024314

Paraphrased here:
Open Terminal
Type: cd_ (that's "cd" followed by a space, no quotes)
Drag the Myst4.app icon into the Terminal window, which will give you the path to the app
Press return.
(on my system, the full path is /Applications/Ubisoft/MystIV/myst4.app - fact is that I had to add "/Applications" to the default path offered by the installer to keep the game under the standard app folder)

Type the magic line: chmod +x myst4
Press return, quit Terminal.
(original post has Myst4, my file name was all lowercase)

I don't think this is Leopard specific, looks like a general Intel Mac issue (likely Java installer doesn't set exec permissions since the PPC JNI code doesn't work).
