Out of all the apps that you can run on a 68k, what's your favourite? It doesn't have to be something big like Photoshop (though that's mine), it might just be a small utility you find phenomenally useful and perfectly crafted... or anything in between. Doesn't have to be popular, or even able to be widely used either.

The Tilery is cool, and DragThing.

Ram doubler. Very useful IMHO. I found it Possible to browse the web on your Centris 610 after putting it on. before that, it was painfully slow 🙁

Favourite app: ClarisWorks 2: So simple, yet so powerful. It just works. HyperCard also, for the same reasons
Favourite utility: Norton Disk Doctor from Norton Utilities 3.1: Back in the day this saved my ass many times. IMHO NUM 3.1 was the single best piece of software to ever come out of Symantec.
Favourite CDEV: DeskPicture
Favourite INIT: Aaron

MAZE. It's the simplest, smallest possible little Mac game/app, but it's very addictive. It keeps me coming back to System 6 every time.

I loved (and learned) WriteNow a lot in the 1980s and I was upset when I was instructed to use Word 3.x and 4.x. Word interfered too much with my writing so you can imagine how much more frustrated I feel about more recent versions.
I'll vote for WriteNow, with a nod to Word 5.0 or 5.1 (powerful, fast enough on a 68000, less-intrusive).

ClarisWorks (v1), HyperCard, and Spectrum Holobyte Tetris won me over to the Mac (on an SE). MPW and ResEdit are pretty darned cool too. THINK Pascal has to be the second best development environment out there (second only to Turbo Pascal, and ahead of Borland C++).
Now I'm going to run off and cry.

Pretty cool game:
Widget Workshop. Best game Maxis has EVER put out imho. I also have Sim Tower, Sim City, Sim City Resource Editor, I used the Battery Reset program for Depleting the Batteries in the duos, then charging it up. You can have it do this several times to make sure the battery zeros out.
Iomega Zip Tools was pretty good if you had a Zip drive (i have 3, 1x USB 1.1, 1x Parallel, 1x SCSI. The USB is broken) I also used to have an External Jaz drive. So I also used the Jaz utilities.
I also used to use a utility that allowed an FPU to be emulated on Macs that didn't have an FPU (was slow though) I used this on my PowerBook 190cs,
I also used a tool by apple that allowed you to connect an ethernet port up to the serial port, so you can share the ethernet connection, through the computer to the serial, so the serial-connected machine (i.e. a machine with no ethernet) can share the internet connection through the bridge-computer's ethernet.
I used this on my 7200/120 and had my PB 190cs hook up to the internet through it. then from there, it went to a hub, then to the cable modem.
It is availble on apple's site, albeit it's not supported by Apple.
Quickdraw and Quicktime VR are very handy, as well as Quicktime (i used to work with VR Files a LOT)
Also, all the little utilities that apple made for their machines were nice. There was one that allowed you to use the Newton's screen as a tablet input for the apple (through the serial port. then again, that may be 3rd Party)
I believe that was an MP3 player for the old 68k Machines (still, i don't remember the name for it. Just google "68k MP3 Player)
There is also a utility that fools OS 8 into installing on an SE/30 (with the '030 CPU)
Sorry if I don't remember the names, but I am sure with a bit of 'googling' you can find out what they are. I just don't have time to post it right now.
