Macintosh SE software recommendations
Posted by: sosumi on 2022-03-15 13:44:23
I recently set my Macintosh SE back up after not using it for almost a year. I plan to purchase a BMOW Floppy Emulator. Any recommendations on what softwarre to play/use?

All I have on mine is FullWrite, WriteNow and FutureBASIC. I thought I had a Star Trek game, but that might be on my Mac Plus.

HyperCard!
Of course! I've never made one, but it seems fun 🙂

What is FutureBASIC?
Programming software that was then made by Zedcor.

Here's an old article I found about it: http://preserve.mactech.com/articles/mactech/Vol.09/09.05/FutureBASIC/index.html

Either one. I am currently running system 7.0 because I don't have a way to upgrade or downgrade.

Cool! I'll have to give it a try, since programming applications and possibly games for old Macintosh computers sounds quite fun.

I‘m happy running 7.1.2 on my se because of way more software options. Although you need to have maxed out RAM…

FutureBasic, HyperCard and Filemaker II are Must-Haves. One of my favorite games is Sokoban - it runs on System 6 as well.

FileMaker is a graphical database tool to create and edit various lists for anything you can think of. I use it for inventory management…

And it’s still sold by Apple … https://www.claris.com/
