Alto Calculator
And what set of screen shots is complete without a calculator application?

Alto DIEX
DIEX, a disk utility, is interesting in that it presents a mouse selectable "menu". You can click on any item in this large menu to run commands, change yes/no options, or edit numeric values.

Alto Galaxian
The Alto disk images have a large number of games on them. Here is a clone of Galaxian.

Alto Pac-Man
And of course it has to have Pac-Man.

Alto Atro-Roids
Astro-roids, an Asteroids clone.

Note: Asteroids, and glaxian must be run using the "bootfrom" command.

Alto Maze
And this is Maze. It is quite similar to the "Amazing" program on the 128k Macintosh Guided Tour disk.
 

Alto Crash
The Alto equivalent of a BSOD. "Quitting" from the executive starts a ram test, which was meant to be left running when the Alto was not in use.

There is a "Smalltalk 76" disk included with the disk images, but it does not seem to contain a runable copy of smalltalk. It appears to just be a work disk.

And with all of the games that were included, there was no Maze War!

Hopefully any Alto collectors out there will eventually dump more disk images before they are lost to history!
