All old applications are cool in their own right.

Well. I guess it DIDN't say so in the original post,
did There?

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.
