Many users of Microsoft Word 5.1 for Macintosh hated Microsoft Word 6; they felt the latter was not Mac-like. I was a kid during this time and the only Mac word processor I used in the classic era was the one included with ClarisWorks, so I don’t have any opinions about Word 5.1 vs 6.

I feel Mac OS X peaked with Snow Leopard, though it wasn’t until Catalina when I started refusing to upgrade my personal Macs, which remained at Mojave until I retired them from daily driving.

I also remember SimCity (the successor to SimCity 4) and SimCity Societies not being well-received. Sadly the SimCity franchise is dead; I enjoyed SimCity 2000 and 4 (I never played 3000).

The fourth generation of Pokémon games, in my opinion, was the high water mark of the franchise’s main series games, peaking at Heart Gold/Soul Silver.
