the project's getting more and more complicateder If I think about it for a while, I can probably figure out exactly what software I had on System 6 and System 7.5.5 (the two main ones I used growing up). I'm not sure which of the crapload of shareware games I played were common. I spent a lot of time with Super Maze Wars, Spectre, Spelunx, and Eric's Ultimate Solitaire in the System 7.1-7.5.5 days. Actually, a bunch of apps and games listed here would have been on a typical System 6 Macintosh. Glider 3, StuntCopter, Dark Castle, The Fool's Errand (although I spent more time with At The Carnival) on System 6. Glider PRO and Escape Velocity on OS 9, maybe OS 8 too. Speaking of internet, you've got to include Hotline on System 7.5 through to OS 9.x (and maybe even up to 10.2). When was FreePPP? That was how I connected to the internet for a spell in the 90s. Not sure which version corresponds to which OS, but most Mac folks had it right up until AppleWorks came along. I'd say ClarisWorks would be another big one to have. I used MacAmp/Macast on my System 7.5.5 setup, too. That and SoundJam MP were the two big ones for OS 7.6 and 8.x. It started as MacAmp, then was renamed to Macast in '99.
