Nice Mac freeware site

I've been looking around for freeware for my iBook, most notably solitaire games (I'm a Spider addict) etc. By far the best site I've found is

http://www.macgamesandmore.com/utilities.html

No Spider, but there's a VERY nice mah-jongg game, an okay Freecell, an ingenous and VERY nicely designed "get rid of the balls" thingy called Beecells 3D, and an arcade game called Antigen which I looks rather like something i saw on a BBC B in the eighties (virus??), only much prettier. And dozens more, plus lots of shareware. VERY much worth a look.

Now if I could just find a nice Spider game...

Versiontracker.com is a good place to go looking for software.

Solitare Till Dawn:

http://tc.versiontracker.com/product/redir/lid/484778/SolitaireTillDawnX1.4.dmg.hqx

is a shareware program that contains a bunch of games, including one called Spider. (I don't know if it's the Spider you're looking for.)

Site seems to be VERY slow at present, I'll try again later.

If I had my Mac here I would be able to tell you the name of the free Mac solitaire I have that does spider.

I think it's Mike's Cards Lite...

Ah yes. It is: http://www.mikesedore.com/mikecard.html

Thanks - I'll download it tonight.

Thanks, that's pretty much what I wanted. A bit too pretty in fact, I've turned off most of the effects!
