GameLauncher

Version: 1.2 || Release Date: 2006-10-20 || License: Freeware Developer: 2Sublime

GameLauncher first requires that you select the application* and, once selected, if you press the “Launch” button, will quit as many applications as you have running, launch the game, wait patiently until you are finished, then return the applications to your desktop good as new. Less time wasted, more game-play time maximised.

*Note: the application selected does not have to be a game. If you need to maximise processor time for another application of choice - go right ahead.

I used to use this a lot with VirtualPC back on my iBook, and I still use it with Doom 3 and Quake 4 on my MacBook Pro. Earlier versions used to have issues with relaunching background apps but that seems to have been resolved now.

The only issues I've had with it is that it doesn't seem to know what to do with the background apps installed and used by Mira and Disctop.

it's great with VMware and Second Life. i guess a brand new Macbook still isn't good enough to run those while multitasking.
