TextCraft, GraphicCraft,DPaintV,iFusion,Commodore C and many more I forgot.


Well, I certainly agree on all those except DPaintV.  I thought it was a pretty good paint program.  It was in the twilight of DPaint, and they hadn't kept up to the advances PhotoShop was making (I think they were on version 3 or 4 by then) but it was still a sound graphics package, and finally supported RTG.  I can't knock it for what it was.

As for the list, I'd add.....

CanDO - Rhymes well with Guru, which was what it seemed most adept at doing - Plus, things made with it needed the cando.library, which was always at the wrong version, as there were several incompatible ones, if I remember correctly.  

Pro Calc (Gold Disk) - I have a big frown face drawn on the disk.  I'm not sure I ever got this to work, at all.

VideoScape 3d - It's like a 3d modler/renderer... only crappy.

There were a few god-awful BBS packages, too.... But looking through my collection, I don't remember which they were.  (All I remember is I liked the CNet and Excelsior ones.  I forget which ones out of the other 15 or so that I hated...)

I think we can forgive VideoScape though seeing as it was refined into LightWave 3D...


Really?  How could I have been a LightWave fan for this long and not have known that??  And, a better question, is how in the world was that grown into Lightwave???  I mean, as I remember VS, the interface wasn't too bad, but it didn't really lead to much...  I was pretty impressed with the program the first time I used it.  But by the second time I booted it, I had pretty much seen everything it had to offer.  A bit disappointing, to say the least.  And not very good render image quality.  :-(  But, true, it was a very early program.  Let's face it, it was all sort of new ground back then, I suppose.  I'll forgive it.  My bad.

I stand by my other assesments, though.  ;-)
