Image / Photo Editing PowerPC

In my opinion, its the most classic of the classics and it’s probably the most famous Image / Photo Editing application for Mac platform.  This application is supposed to come installed in every single Mac computer (in my opinion) but for some reason Apple didn’t think to add this application to their platform.  Microsoft is still delivering windows with Paint and most people need something that is a very friendly interface, easy to use and capable of atleast basic image / photo editing…and this is what GIMP is all about.

GIMP 2.8.4 (Free) – PowerPC friendly – Tiger 10.4.11 / Leopard 10.5.7+.  (They provide support for those Intel felines as well. http://gimp.lisanet.de/Website/News/News.html

I also wanted to make mention of a few other applications, including:

Seashore 0.5.1 (Free) – PowerPC friendly – Tiger 10.4.11 or later.  Also a great option of open source for Image editors. – http://seashore.sourceforge.net/The_Seashore_Project/About.html

iPaint 1.9 (Free) – PowerPC friendly – Leopard 10.5 – Based on famous Paintbrush – http://ipaint.sourceforge.net/

Paintbrush 2.1.1 (Free) – PowerPC friendly – Leopard 10.5.  Talking about classics, this is a simple paint program similar to Microsoft Paint and MacPaint. – http://paintbrush.sourceforge.net/

Vanilla 3.0 1 .0 (Free) – PowerPC friendly – Leopard 10.5.  Simple drawing application inspired by Paintbrush. – http://sourceforge.net/projects/vanilladraw/

Acorn 1.5.4 (Demo) PowerPC friendly – Tiger 10.4 / Leopard 10.5. – Bitmap Image Editor. http://flyingmeat.com/acorn/

Quake X for Mac PowerPC

I don’t know about you guys but I remember during the later part of the 90’s I spent a good amount of time playing Quake.  It was so addictive that I actually hid it on my work computer because my boss wasn’t very computer savvy so it was easy to play.  Sometimes I would play for hours at at work if I didn’t have pressing tasks, and often it took over my entire lunch break.  I know it’s awful but I don’t regret any of this because it was part of my recollection of the late 90s!  This is the successor to Doom and the first person shooter was a hit and it changed the way people used to play games.

For the more information about Quake you can check here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quake_(video_game)

Download Quake X 1.1 for Mac here – PowerPC 10.0 or later – http://mac.downloadatoz.com/quake-x/
