LIMBO

Rampancy commented on 26 Dec 2011

For anyone tempted by the current Steam sale of Limbo (50% off until Jan. 3rd) the Mac port of Limbo is supported under SteamPlay, and will be coming to Steam in early January 2012. (January 12th, if what I've read is correct.)

[Version 1.1]

Foreign Legion: Buckets of Blood

Rampancy reviewed on 21 Dec 2011

I've just rediscovered this game after purchasing it many moons ago over at the Mac Game Store. This UNITY-based first/third person shooter is a simplistic game, but it's old-school arcade-style mechanic makes the game unexpectedly rather addictive, as you try over and over to beat your best score. The controls are crisp, and the graphical style is quite nice. Overall it's a great and satisfying little indie shooter that's good for blowing off some steam during work breaks.

[Version 2.0.0]

OpenTTD

Rampancy commented on 12 Dec 2011

Just as a heads up, this needs either the original Transport Tycoon Deluxe data files (from the MS-DOS CD-ROM release), or the open source replacement data files (OpenGFX, OpenSFX, and OpenMSX), available from the OpenTTD website.

[Version 1.1.4]

Hear

Rampancy commented on 09 Dec 2011

So...how does registration work? Does this come with a ridiculous activation limit the way SRS iWow did? Has JoeSoft charged for incremental releases (again, like with SRS iWow)? The MUPromo bundle has gotten me really interested in Hear but after having been burned with SRS iWow, I'm a little apprehensive.

[Version 1.1.1]

Sparrow

Rampancy commented on 30 Nov 2011

While I love Sparrow's UI and workflow, I've consistently found it to be constantly CPU-intensive; hopefully this latest rev. improves things.

[Version 1.5]

Ecoute

Rampancy reviewed on 13 Nov 2011

Ecoute is still a great app, and quickly became my media player of choice; but I'm just not feeling the UI. It's not very intuitive compared to 2.x and handy features like lyrics are in a different window, as Mjasinski mentioned. And what happened to the ability to quickly search YouTube for videos of the current track? I loved that feature.

[Version 3.0.1]

Default Folder X

Rampancy reviewed on 04 Nov 2011

A fantastic piece of software from a developer who continually takes the time and effort to support their customers. Thanks again for the hard work you've put into this product.

[Version 4.4.7b1]

Boxer

Rampancy reviewed on 31 Oct 2011

Quite simply *the* way to run DOS-based classic games on the Mac; joystick/gamepad emulation, introduced in 1.1, was a fantastic addition, and with improved importing abilities for GOG's extensive DOS-based library, it's even better. Now you don't have an excuse to play and enjoy some of the best GOG classics like Wing Commander III, Crusader: No Remorse, and Screamer!

Sorry, that should have read, "now, you don't have an excuse to not play and enjoy".

Firefox

Rampancy commented on 26 Sep 2011

I wondered why Mozilla still lists 6.0.2; then I read that FF7 is supposed to land on Sept. 27th. I guess someone at MU jumped the gun. At this rate, I don't know what we'll see more of by year's end: "tweaked" George Lucas re-re-releases of Star Wars or Firefox releases...

[Version 7.0]

Firefox

Rampancy commented on 26 Aug 2011

You'll still pry Camino from my cold dead hands, but FF has come a long way thanks to the massive Mac UI overhaul that they put back in FF5. It still doesn't "feel" like a native Mac app because Mozilla uses XUL for its UI elements; the tradeoff is that it allows for extensions and themeing.

In any case, while the jump to 7 is dizzying I'm glad that Mozilla has for now dumped their original asinine decision to not use version numbers for Firefox.

[Version 7.0]

Settings Plus for Camino

rampancy had trouble on 05 Jun 2009

Is this for Leopard only? I followed the standard procedure to install preference panes for Camino, but it won't load up. I'm using 2.0b3 with 10.4.11.

[Version 1.0]

WhatSize

rampancy had trouble on 19 Aug 2008

Sadly, this version simply doesn't work on 10.4.11 (on a C2D MacBook 2 GB RAM/2 Ghz).

The main window can't be shown, all of the menus don't work, and bottom half WhatSize's application menu is completely blank (as in no text, just an empty menu).

[Version 4.3.1]

Scribblet

rampancy had trouble on 02 Jul 2008

1.2 crashes on startup for me, while 1.1 worked before. 10.4.11, MacBook Pro C2D 2.16 Ghz/2 GB RAM. I can send a crash log if it might be helpful.

(Disclaimer: I do run APE, and 1.1 did crash until I set APE to exclude Scribblet, whereupon it worked fine afterwards.)

[Version 1.2]

NotifyOSX 2

rampancy had trouble on 12 Oct 2007

For some reason which I can't understand, this plugin won't appear in Growl's list of display styles, even after a removal and reinstallation of the preference pane.

I'm guessing a .plist or something somewhere is corrupted or isn't working right, but I don't know what it could be.

Hi Niklas,

I am able to get it running, but the way the notification window is rendered is all wonky...it's rendered in large text with large icons on a totally transparent background.

I'm wondering if this might be a WebKit issue - this is on a 700 Mhz G3 iBook w/10.4.10 (incidentally, this works fine on an MBP).

Tor

rampancy had trouble on 13 Jan 2007

Edit: My apologies for my mistake, the actual app running on startup which is PPC is Privoxy, not Vidalia.
