AguaT 1.1 (Mac OS X)

AguaT and UNO...  

I applied AguaT to get rid of those damned scroll bars and buttons, and it ended up overriding the changes from UNO. UNO users should keep this in mind (I assume installing UNO again will restore the lighter menubar color). Otherwise, thank you, thank you, thank you for making iTunes usable for me again.

D2X-XL 1.5.172 (Mac OS X)

Hangs on startup, black screen  

The first time I started this version, I loaded up a D1 game I had going under 1.5.147. The controls were messed up and it kept on giving me "invalid polygon" errors. After that, the game repeatedly hangs on the startup screen, the window being totally black, even after repeated fresh installs. [alert admin]

D2X-XL 1.5.147 (Mac OS X)

No full screen? Movies?  

As with the original OS X D2X builds, the movie files from my D2 CD won't play, even after I followed the troubleshooting steps outlined on the D2X-XL homepage. I guess it's still saddled with the issue of the movie files being different on the Mac CDs. Also, full screen isn't active, even after making the requisite changes in the .ini file. [alert admin]

Fire 1.5.6 (Mac OS X)

I don't know why...  

...a lot of people seem to hate Fire. It's a solid open source effort produced by people who really care about what they're doing. I'm sure Adium is great too, but Fire just plain works for me. Adium doesn't. If anyone's going to talk about how no one should use Fire and everyone should use Adium, the least you should do is download both clients and try them out together. That's what I did.

Duhbya's Days Are Numbered 1.0 (Mac OS X)

Like it or hate it...  

...at least VT posted this widget, which is more than I can say for MacUpdate. [alert admin]

No Gravity 1.99 (Mac OS X)

Simply unplayable for me...  

I've been trying everything I can think of, but even with the 1.98 r9a build (on 10.3.9), the game is just flat out unplayable. It won't respond to keyboard controls, won't respond to my joystick, and will only respond to my mouse, which makes the ship very hard to use. I'd like to try the new 1.99b build, but where can I download it? (all the links seem to point to the old 1.99 build) Thanks to the developer(s) for responding to comments! [alert admin]

No Gravity 1.99 (Mac OS X)

1.98 version?  

Is the 1.98 version still available for download? If so, where can I get it? [alert admin]

No Gravity 1.98.r9 (Mac OS X)

No joystick support with Saitek Cyborg 3D...  

...and no 10.2 support -- as noted earlier, it locks up the system. Does work fine on 10.3, though. Is it possible to fix 10.2 support soon? [alert admin]

The Lonesome Electric Chicken 3.0 (Mac OS X)

A great desktop accessory!  

A delightful little app featuring some very apt quotes. And if people disagree with what quotes he's used, they're more than welcome to code their own quotation program. [alert admin]

Hangs on startup, black screen  

I can't even do that, though: when I launch D2X-XL all I get is a stuck black window. No menus, no splash screen. The only thing I can do is force quit to get out.

No full screen? Movies?  

Thanks for your reply. Yes, I eventually figured out how to enable full screen, using that key combo, but after starting a game it quickly crashes. Oh well. I'd be happy to send you the .mvl files which came with the Mac version of Descent II (they are quite large though; two of them are about ~100 MB). What address should I send them to?
