Retro
Two of these apps run on Mac OS X 10.5, on a Power Mac G5. The retro section is where they live: a working pretend desktop in three skins, inspired by Windows 9x, Mac OS 9 and early Mac OS X, with a simple list view too.
- Draggable windows, a terminal, a paint program and a period web browser
- Minefield, Klondike and Snake
- Original art and sounds; nothing stored unless you ask
Downloads & updates
Installers live in one place with a SHA-256 checksum for every file. Every release has notes, and the apps can update themselves from the same server.
