I can't say Sherlock as it ripped off Watson too much in the latest revision. iTunes is merely SoundJam in a new face.

You don't say current, so I'll be contrary and go with:

1. AppleVision
2. Little Brick Out
3. Brian's Song
4. Biorythm
5. Super Invader
6. Adventure

Well, that's all I can remember. Oh, you meant Mac software? Wait a minute...

Actually, yes, I forgot how much I loved ClarisWorks. I vote for version 5 though, best version ever.

To think I actually use Word these days. I never thought the day would come.

P.S. GarageBand is definitely a cool app, but I simply don't use it very much.

Totally agree about ClarisWorks 5... great app! But yes. . . I have recently gone over to the dark side (as a Word user).

ResEdit. I wish they had an OS X version, would be the best tool to edit certain resource files.

Now those are some classic programs! AppleVision is what sold me on getting an Apple ][+ (had to get an integer language card just to run AppleVision!)

I had one wicked tricked-out Apple ][+ at one point! Three 5.25" floppies (DOS 3.3), 64KB RAM, 80 column card, shift key mod, auto key-repeat mod w/ adjustable delay, Epson parallel dot-matrix printer, Hayes Microcoupler 300 baud modem, AppleCat 1200 baud half-duplex modem with handset adapter/cassette adapter/touch-tone decoder, Apple monitor /// and a 13" color TV with RF mod for those color games. Not to mention a set of Apple paddles, an Apple joystick and a ZIF extension for the internal game port! Oh, yeah, a kick-ass Kensington System Saver, too.

And, just to make my machine extra cool, I put a piece of red cellophane under the "Power" light! And you thought only PC users put lights on their machines

PR#6, baby!

Ah, the good old days. If I need an app to do something, and I didn't have one that would do it, I'd write one!
