The Mega-Man Effect
No, I haven’t coined a new internet buzz inducing term…The Mega-Man Effect is a cool, but utterly useless, app for OS X users that changes the the way new applications are opened. Instead of the usual bouncing icon in the dock, this produces the program icon in the same way the villains were first shown in the old 8-bit Nintendo game.

I’ve been getting a lot of emails asking about a Windows version of this. Sorry but I don’t use Windows anymore and have no interest in making a port.
