What the oldest application that you have on your Macintosh?

Me:ClarisWorks 4

[King Cobra]

I would say that the oldest application that I have and currently use often on my computer would be Graphing Calculator 2.2 from Pacific Tech. Yes, I have to boot up in OS 9 for it.

GC220 sort of functions like a mathematica application, but somewhat more shaky. But for $60 or whatever it was, it has helped me significantly in mathematical skills.

WOW -- How long ago was that released?

I am a Mac newbie so I don't have anything older than OS X.

As for the PC, I do still use Aldus PhotoStyler 2.0 on a regular basis... (released 1993) :eek:

Someday I'll upgrade to Photoshop -- for the Mac!

The original Lode Runner copyrighted 1983, 1984. Still runs in classic mode if you can remember the commands.

i have a bunch of old black and white games -- loderunner, shufflepuck, triple yatzee, backgamon, space-station pheta
i'm not sure where i got them from but i know that i've had them since they were on floppy disks and not downloaded.
they've been transfered through about 6 computers (my main ones that are changed out every so often) since they were on floppy.

[Zenith]

PS 1 is just great... Really fast, yeah. A bit limited though :D

I don't remember when it came out, but it's old, that's for sure.


It's really fun whenever I open my graphics-app-folder on my hd when both PS 1 and PS 7-folders appear side by side... ;)

[Mr. Anderson]

Nothing too special, 1997 version of simpletext. Don't even know why I have it, weird.

I would love to see PS1, one of you guys start it up and show a screen dump. The oldest version I ever used was PS2.5, that was at least before layers.

[applebesmart]

ALDUS PAGEMAKER 5.0 . Its on floppy disks. I'm running it now on my new 700mhz ibook. I love it over the new Adobe Pagemaker version. Guess I'm just used to it.

i still have software lying around that was built for win 3.0/dos :O although thats not mac appz, i remember the old win 3.0 days...ms tried to copy apple's interface n got into a law suit for it ;)...but then again win 3.0 was alot stabler than windows me..although it was slow

[atodd]

I've got StuntCopter (from 1988), Claris 3, ClarisDRAW 1.0, and Fontographer (which hasn't been updated since 1997).

I also have the original Mac OS under emulation - and in OS X, no less!!

[iapple]

I think I have Claris Works 2.0, japanese version that came with my Performa 5320, and Filemaker Pro 2.0... ALso, a black and white absolute 2D game called "The Big One". It was a shooting game... Movie Paint or something also came with the performa, and Claris Email lite, and Super Maze Wars that came with my Dad's PB 5300.

That's all I can think of, but I'm sure there's more, and I have it on the old machines..

[mac15]

I have mac os 1,2 and 4
I used to have photoshop 1 just for fun

What the oldest application that you have on your Macintosh?

Hmmm, that would be A-Mazing. As I recall, it ran on System 1 pretty well and was the first Mac application I've ever had the pleasure of playing around with - other than the Finder that is. :)

Since I don't actually have it anymore (c'mon, it's been 18 years!), I guess I'll just have to disqualify myself...

*disqualified*

:confused:

Here's a picture of PS 1 in classic mode (!). I couldn't capture the menu since I only got an error when trying to grab the screen when PS was the foreground application.

Notice the touch sensivity with my Wacom Graphire..! I'm sure it's driver-related or something.

Also got Illustrator 88, MacPaint 1.5, FileMaker II (not 2 or Pro, but II!) and MacWrite 1.6 running on a Mac Classic. I use this Mac almost daily for small database stuff. :) :p

Also got system 0.85 with Amazing laying somewhere.

Wow, litt av en signatur du har der :p
Så, kommer du fra Molde? :) :p :D

Sorry for that. My next post will be in English :) :cool:

[Zenith]

Hehe... Bare vi trofaste nordmenn som beholder gamle Mac-programmer! :D

Forresten, nei, jeg kommer fra Hamar. ;) Jobber du med grafisk til daglig eller har du bare tilfeldigvis programmene?

Å nei, engelsk ja! :p Sorry everybody but I'm getting a bit confused here... :p

ok...no flaming here...but...

I am amazed that u are able to use Pagemaker without having hostility in your post about it....much less an older version of it...u must have learned how to use it before Quark? When I was in tech school they taught us Quark first...then Pagemaker...everyone was pretty pissed off because we all ended up hating Pagemaker...he he he...;)

as for old software running on newer systems...Photoshop 1.0.7 runs on my G4 systems...but it does crash...not very stable...oh well....it's still funny to see Photoshop so scaled down...knowing it's packed with so many features in it's current form...:D

[Mr. Anderson]

Wow, that's great seening the PS1, very cool. I forgot about one application that I do have, MacDrawPro, its really an excellent vector drawing program, circa 1995, I haven't used it recently, but it used to be the best - cause it was so simple. Much better than the older versions of PowerPoint. Its too bad it died.....

[britboy]

It's nice to see how little the tools palatte has changed since ps1. Adobe obviously hit upon a good setup from the start.

The oldest s/w i run has to be Q.Bert, a game from 1994 (i think). It's really simple, and great fun!

[Zenith]

This is one of the things i just love with my Mac and Apple generally. We're in fact able to run applications that's over 12 years old on the newest operation systems of today! ;) It's really impressive... I'm not sure, but I don't think a PC-user could open an application written for e.g. 3.1 in XP. PS 1 may not be stable, but it works. I haven't noticed any crashes on my comp, though...

I have to admit that I was wrong when I said that Photoshop was fast... :p It's slow as hell! It's 68k-based and from about 1990 so what else can you expect from that. Layers where also not invented on that time, so it's really confusing to just be able to work with a background :D

he he... you won't be taking all the features of ps7 for granted now will you? :p

[Zenith]

Have I ever? :D It's one of my favourite applications... I can't live without layers! I can't even imagine a world without them. :p

[kiwi_the_iwik]

Does "Karateka" count as an old app? I run it in Bernie - the Apple 2 emulator.

Otherwise, I can still opt for MacPlaymate, or Sub Battle Simulator.

Not a bad use of a G4's power...

Well! I have here an application called Bus'd Out that is from 1983 that is supposedly the first network game for the Mac. The thing runs in a pseudo first person perspective (it could be labeled a FPS) and you run around a maze and shoot at other people in the maze. It ran over Appletalk (raw appletalk, not over the protocol but the lines themselves). The history is out there somewhere. It is very small.

The thing still runs in Classic..:) That's almost 20 years of backward compatibility..:)

There is a comment of it here:

Stop discussing games- what I was discussing was what old preoductivity software you use on a mac?

Well. I guess it DIDN't say so in the original post, did There?
:) , Lighten Up..;)

Besides, games for me were a productivity tool. They let your mind wander and be more productive with it. And I've always used Bus'd Out to brag about the mac's backward compatibility (Bus'd Out has survived two processor architectures and two operating system architectures and keeps working, if a little fast now..:)

I guess in the normal productivity I'd have to include Super Paint / Mac Paint, Word 1 and Excel 1, Animation Works (grandaddy of Director).

I also have SmartSketch, from around 91 or so. It was a novel application in its day, who let you draw free-form vector based graphics which occupied next-to-no disk space. I thought it was a great app and did a lot of logos with it but it never really took off. Then Macromedia discovered it and turned tacked an animation module on top of it and, lo and behold, Macromedia Flash was born. I am sure the SmartSketch people had no idea about the success it would have down the road or they would have charged a lot more for it..:)

I'd have to include a copy of SoftWindows 1, which I got from some clueless people in a local newspaper who had heard that Macs were the best thing to do publishing yet the only thing they knew how to use was Corel Draw and some other app called Doctor something for PC, so they ran it emulated.
