Games for the Mac

Monday, September 3rd, 2007 | Free Stuff, Software | No Comments

One of the differences between Macs and PCs is that Macs don’t come preloaded with games. Even though Windows is supposed to be for serious tasks, it comes with several simple games to distract one from work at hand. Well, despite the fact that there are many fun things to do on the Mac, such as making movies, creating web sites and surfing the web, once in a while it is nice to play a mindless game. So, where can you get some nice Mac games and not break the bank. I will tell you of two games that I’ve installed on my MacBook Pro and enjoy playing to rest my mind.

Pac the Man

This is an imitation of the original Pac-Man. It is a well written game and runs great on the Mac. It is available from McSebi at no charge. So, you can download and enjoy some good old fun in a matter of minutes.

Otis

This is a block game by Wonder Warp Software. It is an addictive game, as the tag line indicates. It is also free, however the author would appreciate a donation.

Check out these two games and add to the fun things you can do on your Mac.

Deeper - Unlocking Hidden Mac OS X Preferences

Monday, August 27th, 2007 | Free Stuff, Software | No Comments

Deeper is a free utility for Mac OS X that gives you access to hidden preferences. You can access additional preferences for the Finder, Dock, Dashboard, Exposé, Safari, Login, and other Misc. settings. I’ve used it to reveal hidden files in Finder and add a shadow to the Dock. Some of the other options allow you to enable the developer mode in Dashboard, print backgrounds from Safari, change the spacing between icons, etc.
