Subject: Apeiron 1.0.2
Apeiron is the latest contribution from Ambrosia's resident Macintosh
wizard, Andrew Welch, to Ambrosia's growing entertainment collection. In a
four Apple review, Mac Home Journal says: "...if you like fast paced arcade
action, you're going to want this."
During a port through the looking glass, the mirror shatters and your
ethereal energy (you know, the stuff that allows you to get up and go to
work on a Monday morning...) is trapped within one of the crystal shards.
Immediately, the residents of the mushroom patch sense your presence. Lead
by the Pentipede, this motley crew of mushroom patch misfits relentlessly
hunt the crystal ( You! ), intent upon sucking out the trapped energy. The
Pentipede is a sinister creature that has the ability to divide. So, if you
think your troubles are over when you shoot this sneakered psycho once, you
are twice as wrong.
The Pentipede is joined by a ruthless assortment of animated killers, and
your situation is further complicated by a few unpleasant "environmental"
hazards.
Luckily you are not defenseless; with plasma cannon blazing, you must hold
out as long as possible. Shooting certain mushrooms can be very beneficial
to your mission. Several power up coins are scattered throughout the
garden. Find one of these and you can teach the Pentipede and his pals the
meaning of "full auto."
Inside Mac Games sums it up by saying "Apeiron's astounding graphics and
sound coupled with its captivating gameplay make it a joy to play and a
worthy successor to a classic such as Maelstrom."
The following is a list of the bugs that were fixed in Apeiron 1.0.2:
-- Finally fixed the nasty sprinkly shield bug (happened only when you
were attacking 'pedes that were poisoned, en-mass)
-- Fixed an odd bug with Mode32 and some other configurations that
cause the 'pedes to misbehave
-- Fixed a bug that caused Apeiron to not work properly on the newer
PowerMacs running System 7.5.2
-- Updated the contact information
-- Included the "Apeiron FAQ" and "Ambrosia FAQ" with Apeiron
-- Added a "Paused" graphic when the game is paused with the Caps Lock key
-- Included the new Ambrosia registration system

Download barrack-103.hqx (4,020,150 KB)
From: (Andrew Welch) andrew@AmbrosiaSW.com
Subject: Barrack 1.0.3 Installer
Meticulously crafted by Greg Lovette, Barrack is a game that is hard to
pigeonhole. It exhibits a precarious balance between action and strategy;
thinking and reflex. The feeling you get from playing Barrack is an
eccentric harmony between the automatic, mind-numbing pleasure of Tetris
and the kind of action found in Maelstrom. The result is that you'll be
left with sweat on your brow.
Barrack's goal is deceptively simple; there are a number of balls on the
play field that are bouncing like a neurotic on a sugar rush. Your job is
to use your shooter to isolate them. Sounds easy, right?
It isn't. First of all, if a ball breaks your shooter's particle beam
before it tears through the play field, your shooter overloads and
explodes in a cascade of fire and scrap metal.
The second problem is that these aren't any ordinary balls. They have
more personalities than Sybil, and none of them are particularly
friendly. We'll leave the particulars up to your imagination for now, but
suffice it to say that these aren't the kind of balls you get from bubble
gum machines.
Oh, did we forget to mention the land shark? Bosco is a rare breed of
shark capable of rearranging his molecular structure at will. This
enables him to travel at quite a clip through otherwise solid substances.
If you don't pay attention while he closes in on your shooter, you may
end up being fish-bait. He's tenacious, voracious, and about every other
-acious you can think of, all rolled into one lean, mean,
shooter-munchin' machine.
Barrack features stunning artwork, intense action, vibrant 8-channel
stereo sound effects, and the addictiveness that comes standard in an
Ambrosia game.
Price: $15.00
Requires: 256 Color Screen, 13" or Greater; 040 or PowerPC recommended

Breaker 1.5.0 - Release Notes
Version 1.5.0 introduces a rich new look for the RadZones, has more
challenging play at later levels, and significantly improves the screen
redraws. So if you're still playing an earlier version of Breaker, update
now to this much improved update!
Breaker will play on any computer running the Mac OS. System 7.0 or later is
required.
It looks and runs best in 256 colours (8-bit), but it will run in scaled down
black & white mode on really old Macs. Minimum memory requirements are 900 K
of available RAM; 1200 K (1.2 MB) is preferred.
Breaker is a lighthearted, original and addictive little arcade game which
has been described as a kind of cross between Centipede and Pac-Man. The
playing field is dynamic - it's almost a living thing which is ever changing
and forcing you to keep your wits about you. It's got cute colour graphics,
fast & furious game play (things SPEED UP as your score increases), and lots
of funky, noisy little sounds.

Subject: Brettrix 1.2 - A free tetris-like game for OS X
Changes in this version are listed at http://cocoa.co.nz/brettrixhistory.html
Description
The gameplay of Brettrix will be familiar for many of you. Different
shaped pieces will fall from the top of the window, and you have to
move and rotate them to get them to fit into the pile at the bottom.
Whenever you complete a row of bricks, that row will disappear and
the other bricks will fall down a level. The aim of the game is to
get as many points as you can before the pile of bricks reaches the
top.
What might not be so familiar is the huge number of options. You
choose how many bricks there are per piece, how many pieces fit in
the window, what you get score for, the speed of the game and whether
it speeds up. You can configure your own sets of gameplay and scoring
options and have a high score list for each one. You also have a lot
of control over how the game looks, such as the colours, textures,
size and even shape of the blocks. Of course you can also choose
which keys you use to control the pieces.
Legend has it that Brettrix was created by the world's only kiwiloon
(a cross between a kiwi and a Canadian loon) as a fiendish trap for
the giant meddling featherless beakless flightless noisy walking
targetbirds who stole the attention of his beloved Claire, an albino
pigeon. Boring historians prefer the story that it was created by
Angela Brett and Rob Rix... you decide!

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Brickles3000 v2.0.5 - A Classic Ball & Paddle Game for Macintosh
Merrimack, New Hampshire, February 14, 2004: Ken Winograd and Space-Time
Associates announced today the release of version 2.0.5 of an exciting
Macintosh game called Brickles3000.
Brickles3000 is an all-new game based on the 'ball and paddle' game
called Brickles, which was first offered in 1985, shortly after the
introduction of the first Macintosh.
Brickles3000 is not your typical 'ball and paddle' game. Brickles3000
features adjustable colors and patterns, adjustable ball and paddle
sizes, adjustable speed and window sizes. Even the number of paddles in
the game can be changed. Brickles3000 is suitable for everyone from the
very youngest children learning to use a mouse, to fast-paced arcade
fans.
The new Brickles3000, aside from being optimized for the PowerPC, also
features much smoother animation than in days past. A new toolbar allows
for rapid personalized game customizations, making it a snap to adjust
speed, ball and paddle sizes, game colors and window sizes and shapes.
Brickles3000 v2.0.5 reduces processor requirements when the Brickles
window is not active, updates contact info and help text, and other
minor changes.
Brickles3000 requires a PPC Macintosh with a screen resolution of
800x600 (or more), and OS 9 (with CarbonLib 1.6 or greater) or OS X.
Brickles3000 is available now for a free trial. For more information,
to download or securely register the program, please visit the

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Brickles Pro v1.0.7 - The Classic Ball and Paddle Game for Macintosh
What's New: Ooops! Ooops! Ooops! A quick, embarrassing bug fix release.
Occasionally, a valid high score would not be accepted by the Brickles
Pro Online Hall of Fame web page. That is now fixed.
Merrimack, New Hampshire, July 8, 2004: Ken Winograd and Space-Time
Associates are very excited to announce today the release of Brickles
Pro, the Classic Ball and Paddle Game for Macintosh (the successor to
Brickles3000.)
Brickles Pro is not a typical ball and paddle game. Brickles Pro
features adjustable colors and patterns, adjustable ball and paddle
sizes, stereo sounds, adjustable speed and window sizes, and more. Even
the number of paddles in the game can be changed.
Brickles Pro is suitable for everyone from the very youngest children
first learning to use a mouse, to fast-paced arcade fans, from
grandparents to grandchildren. With the new experimental speed control,
Brickles Pro can even be set to play at super-slow speeds, allowing its
use by those just recovering from strokes. This same new experimental
speed control also allows speed freaks to get every last ounce of power
when used with the new, faster Macs.
Brickles Pro allows the user to chose from among various built-in
Brickle array designs. Brickles Pro will then use the chosen design for
every level of the game, if desired. A random mode may also be chosen to
allow each level of the game to use a randomly selected Brickle design
array. Brickles Pro thus includes many Brickles games in one.
Brickles Pro now supports the new Brickles Pro Online Hall of Fame web
page. Every time you get a new high score, you can send that high score
to the Online Brickles Pro Hall of Fame web page. Compare your score to
the scores of your friends, schoolmates, family members, and others from
around the world. Everyone is a winner. There are various Scoreboards
associated with each of the many possible Brickles Pro configurations.
Brickles Pro requires any PowerPC Macintosh running OS9 or OSX. (A
version of Brickles for Windows is also available.)
Brickles Pro is available now for a free trial. For more information

Subject: Bub and Bob 1.7.3J - Japanese Version
This is the Japanese version of the Bub and Bob package.
Mac OS X compatible (Classic environment)!
*Rated 5 Cows (highest rating) by Tucows (Tukids)*
Bub & Bob is an exciting, fast paced arcade game based on the original
Bubble Bobble, a classic arcade game from the early 80's! The game was
also available for the C64, Atari ST, and Amiga, but never for the
Macintosh. Bub & Bob is a 90% clone of the classic game, designed and
programmed to run on the Mac.
Bub & Bob can be played alone or together with another human player. You
are a little green or blue dinosaur with the ability to blow bubbles out
your mouth. Your aim is to catch the deadly balls in level 100. So you
have to play through all the 99 levels to get there. Some levels are
much easier to play if you play in the two player mode. So you can say
that the other player is your partner in most cases, in some cases he's
your rival, for example if a big fruit appears that gives an extra
score.
System Requirements
Bub & Bob needs 4.2 MB free RAM. It runs both Power-Mac native and on
the older 68k Macs. A Mac with at least a 68040-processor is
recommended, though I couldn't test it on slower machines.
Changes in version 1.7.3:

"OK Mr. Fishy, your days of suavely swishing around the fish bowl are
numbered! That's it... come here... just a little more... SQUISH!!
Haha! Eat seaweed fish-breath!" -- Blinky the teenage mutant goldfish.
Welcome to Bubble Trouble folks, the latest game from Ambrosia in which
cutthroat fishies are playing hardball in a squabble over some very wet
turf. Think of it as splatball for insufferably cute seafaring critters
(hey, they need their fun too).
Bubble Trouble's world is filled with lusciously-drawn cartoony critters
who give that cranky crab from "The Little Mermaid" a run for his money.
But money isn't what you'll be running from: an otherwise peaceful fish
bowl has been filled with bubbles that are being tossed around in an
enthralling game of "Squish the Fish!"
Yes, it's squish or be squished -- and there are plenty of would-be
squishers just waiting for you to get your feet wet: Piranha and
starfish and eels, oh my! But don't worry little fishy, there are
plenty of power-ups and goodies you can hook your fin onto to give you a
bit of an edge.
Bubble Trouble is sure to extort squeals of delight from children of all
ages, accented by the game's engaging sound effects and disturbingly
perky music. But when the clock strikes midnight, remember: "Just one
more game."
Bubble Trouble is the proud offspring of two guys with funny accents
(David Wareing and Alex Metcalf). Granted, when two guys get together,
the result usually ends up being football, crude jokes, and awkward
scratching -- but not this time!

Version 2.0 is a total rewrite of the program. The principles of
the game did not change but the animation is now MUUUUCH better,
thanks to the SAT package from Ingemar Ragnemalm. The game is
now in color but it should also work on black and white screens.
Some graphics and sounds also changed.
What Else?
More information can be found in the program itself.

Webster defines Chiral as "a kind of symmetry found in atomic particles
that is not superimposable on its mirror image." Ambrosia redefines this
dry scientific adjective with a mind melter of a puzzle game.
MacUser awarded this new definition of fun with their Shareware of the
Year Award for 1994. MacWeek says "With the release of Chiral, Ambrosia
is breaking its creative bonds...With repeated play comes an appreciation
of the subtle beauty and elegant sophistication of its design." Inside
Mac Games calls Chiral "a uniquely creative action-strategy game that is
just as much fun to watch as it is to play."
Chiral is a fusion between the scientific concept of atomic bonding and
the addictive game play of Tetris. Players are challenged to form bonds
between atoms to create inert molecules before the atoms overflow from a
vial. Points are scored by the complexity of the molecular pattern and
the speed with which it is assembled. Not to worry, a doctorate in atomic
chemistry is not needed; an interactive tutorial, Chiral Basics, is
included with the package. Chiral has six separate difficulty settings
and twenty four levels of puzzling play, for a grand total of 144 screens
of mind-boggling fun and excitement.
This mind-testing Ambrosia program is the fruit of a collaboration
between Macintosh developer Trevor Powell and Ambrosia Software's
prolific founder Andrew Welch. Chiral is a combination of high resolution
256 color graphics, funky digitized sound effects, and addictively
puzzling game play.
Price: $15.00

Subject: Classic Daleks 1.2
Classic Daleks is a major update to one of the first Macintosh games.
This updated version was written by Ingemar Ragnemalm. It is freeware.
Changes from the original Daleks include color, a working high-score
list, and compatability with newer Macs.
In case you are not familiar with the original game, here is a brief
description.
You are a little man. You are being persued by daleks (robots). You must
fool them into colliding with eace other. You can teleport to other
parts of the screen to prevent being killed by the daleks, and you can
use your Sonic Screwdriver to kill any daleks in your vicinty. Beware,
however: although you have as many teleports as you want, you only get
one Sonic Screwdriver per level. If you are able to kill all the daleks
without using your Sonic Screwdriver, you can keep it for the next
level.
This game is quite addictive, I'm sure that once you start playing
it, it will be a permanent resident on your hard drive. I know it is on
mine.

Subject: Colibricks: new version 1.5.2 for MacOS 8,9,X
Colibricks version 1.5.2 now works on MacOS X 10.3 Panther,
and also fixes a rare bug with jpeg pictures in custom levels.
Colibricks is an exciting brick game for the Macintosh. It is
native for MacOS X, but includes a version for MacOS 8/9 too.
The goal of the game is to destroy all bricks using one or more
balls. Unlike other brick games, it features accurate ball
behaviour, using very precise physical laws. Balls bounce off
corners correctly, and even bounce with each other. And instead
of boring horizontal grids, Colibricks features rotated bricks,
even making circles and spirals with them. Graphics are
antialiased with beautiful backgrounds.
Of course, it's also a lot of fun. With special kinds of bricks
that activate special effects or spawn prize balloons. Balls can
grow or shrink to any size.
The demo lets you play 6 levels of various difficulties. After
registering, you'll get access to all 50 levels and you'll be
able to use the level editor.
System requirements:
PowerPC processor with at least 200 MHz (includes any iMac)
MacOS 8, 9 or X.

Subject: Cyclone II 1.0.2; shoot-em-up space game
High Risk Ventures, Inc., creators of PegLeg (recently inducted into
Macworld Magazine's Hall of Fame as the Best Shoot-em-up for 1995), is
proud to announce the latest addition to their Digitally Remastered
Classics (tm) series. Cyclone II is the long-awaited sequel to the first
game in this popular series.
Cyclone started with the classic video game Star Castle, and updated it for
the 90's, adding new weapons, shields, bonus points and challenge levels, as
well as state-of-the-art color graphics and sound. In Cyclone, an evil
enemy base sits in the middle of the screen, surrounded by three rotating
shield rings. The rings are segmented, and the individual segments can be
destroyed, allowing weapons to pass through to or from the enemy base when
holes in the three rings line up. The base also protects itself with a
never-ending supply of you-seeking guided mines. Your task is to use your
trusty FireHawk 6000 spaceship to blast through the enemy's defenses and
blow the base to smithereens.
Cyclone has received excellent reviews (four out of five mousesticks from
Inside Mac Games) and has gained widespread popularity. Cyclone II adds a
bunch of cool new stuff to the original. More powerups to aid your noble
quest for destruction. A new bonus level to challenge your skills and
savvy. Three difficulty levels (Boring, Fun and Frustrating) to make your
life easier or more exciting. Full color background starfield pictures to
soothe the senses. Four channels of digital sound. Power Macintosh native
code. And a volume control that goes to eleven, giving you that extra edge
when you need it most.
Cyclone II requires a Macintosh system capable of displaying 256 colors.
It runs well on any 68K Mac, from the original Mac II to the latest Performa,
and is accelerated for Power Macintosh. Cyclone II is a commercial-quality
product, offered as $14.95 shareware.
Enjoy!

Subject: Damage Incorporated Demonstration Version
Welcome to the Read This file for the demo version for Damage Incorporated. The
game places you as a Sergeant commanding a team of Marines in a real-time 3D
environment, wherein you try to issue them orders while keeping yourself alive.
Though experienced players of other 3D games (such as a wee game known as
Marathon, from which this game derives its "engine") may be able to blow through
some of the early levels without the help of their team, the levels get hard
enough later on that most will be doomed without strategically using their squad.
You may distribute this Demonstration Version of Damage Incorporated freely using
whatever means (electronic, via magnetic or optical media, or through whatever
means you desire) and to whomever you see fit, as long as it is left unaltered
and this "Read This" file is included with it.
This demo features four levels, three single player and one network, from the
final game. The first two single player levels are the actual first two from the
full game, and as such aren't too hard. The third, however, is from near the end
of the game, and as such is rather difficult. Though the Shocktroopers have been
toned down for this Demo somewhat, don't be embarrassed if you get your butt
handed to you on this third level quite a bit.
The demo version only includes 8 bit sound and graphics, limits network games to
five-minute two-player combat, offers you only 4 marines to take with you on your
missions, and drastically reduces squad-member conversation.

The shareware version of MacPlay's Descent, a game by Parallax Software,
is now available. Descent is a fast-action 3D game in which you pilot
your hoverjet through mine tunnels in zero gravity in a mission to
destroy each mine in a series of 30 missions. You can play network
or modem games with up to eight players. The shareware version of
the game lets you play the first three levels with most of the game's
weaponry enabled, and one mode of network play enabled.
Descent requires any Power Macintosh (or compatible) computer with a
13" or larger color monitor and 7000K free memory. (3000K of this
free memory may be virtual memory.) You'll need 8000K free memory to
play a multiplayer game.
For optimal play, we recommend the fastest Power Macintosh available
with 10000K free memory, with virtual memory off. Most Descent players
enjoy playing the game with a joystick. If you happen to have a
Macintosh computer with a PowerPC 604, you are in a world of high-res
happiness.

Subject: Diamonds 3D Download Demo 1.0d2
Diamonds 3D requires System 7.0 (or higher), a 13" color monitor (640
x 480 or larger), and must be run in 256 colors. Diamonds 3D requires
a mouse or similar pointing device. Diamonds 3D requires 2300K of
memory (3000K is required to use background music).
Diamonds 3D should perform acceptably (60 frames/second animation) on
any Quadra or Centris system, any Power Macintosh, and on many other
systems, including Performa models in the 5xx, 6xx, 5xxx, and 6xxx
series. Diamonds 3D may run slowly (but otherwise correctly) on older
Macintosh hardware. Diamonds 3D is accelerated for Power Macintosh.
For best results, quit all other applications before playing Diamonds
3D. Services and utilities such as File Sharing, Control Strip,
PrintMonitor, Remote Access, MacPPP, and other background tasks may
perform poorly while Diamonds 3D is running, or may cause Diamonds 3D
to perform poorly.
Do not play Diamonds 3D on a Macintosh PowerBook computer running only
from battery power. Diamonds 3D may interfere with proper system
sleep behavior when the battery runs out.
How to play Diamonds 3D
After Diamonds 3D has loaded, start playing by clicking on the "NEW"
button, or by choosing "New" from the Game menu, or by typing
Command-N. Move the paddle over the ball and click once to launch the
ball into play. You can hold the ball on the paddle briefly by
holding down the mouse button. To end a game during play, type
Command-W. To quit the game at any time, type Command-Q, or if no
game is in progress, click on the "QUIT" button or choose "Quit" from
the Game menu. If the ball gets stuck, hold down the mouse button,
and move the paddle in the direction you want the ball to go. The
ball will be gently attracted to the paddle while you hold the button
down.
You may be able to figure out what to do while playing just by
experimenting. Or, you can read this paragraph for some quick
instructions. To complete each level you must clear all of the
Diamond bricks. In level one, there are no other bricks to worry
about. After level one, you must clear all of the Color bricks before
you can clear any Diamond bricks. After level two, you must have the
correct ball color in order to clear the color bricks. Hit the Color
Energizer brick to change the color of the ball, then clear the
matching Color bricks.
The full version of Diamonds 3D contains 50 levels. Many surprises
beyond just Color Energizers await as you explore these increasingly
challenging levels. And, a secret surprise awaits those who reach
level 50. Diamonds 3D also features optional stereo sound and music.

Enjoy,
Morten Sidelmann
Welcome to DOOM. Before playing, you'll need to read the
DOOM manual and this addendum which contains information for
playing in Multiplayer mode, as well as technical support
and troubleshooting instructions. To avoid compatibility
errors, please make sure that your machine and network conform
to the system requirements listed below.
DOOM requires a Macintosh or Macintosh compatible computer with
a minimum of a 68040, 68LC040 or PowerPC processor with 8
megabytes of RAM (4500K of free RAM is required), and 6 MB of
free hard disk space. A monitor that supports 256 colors/grays
with a minimum resolution of 640 x 400 pixels is required.
System 7.1 or later is required. An AppleTalk® network, either
LocalTalk® or Ethernet, is required for network play between
Macintosh computers, and a network that uses the IPX/MacIPX
protocol is required for network gameplay between Macintosh
and PC-compatible computers. A modem that can be set to at
least 9600 baud is required for modem gameplay.
DOOM also requires that you have Sound Manager version 3.0 or
later installed. Sound Manager 3.0 is available from a variety
of on-line services, from Apple Computer, and is built into
System 7.5 or later. Note that Sound Manager 3.0 is not a
"native" PowerPC extension, and will thus slow the execution
speed of your PowerPC-based Macintosh. For best results, upgrade
to Sound Manager 3.1 as soon as it becomes available from
Apple Computer, Inc.
For music while playing DOOM, you will need to have QuickTime
2.0 or later installed. It is available via some on-line
services such as Compuserve. QuickTime 2.0 is included with
the retail version of Ultimate DOOM or DOOM II, as is Sound
Manager 3.0.
The MacIPX extension is included with the Ultimate DOOM or
DOOM II for the Macintosh, and will allow you to play DOOM
between Macintosh and PC computers over an IPX network, such
as Novell NetWare.
To play DOOM via a modem, you will need to install a modem
tool that is compatible with Apple's Communication Toolbox.
Most modems include a Comm Toolbox tool, such as "Apple
Modem Tool". Follow the instructions in your modem's manual
on how to establish a connection.

Control a guy as he runs around mazes trying to collect gems, weapons,

stupid, but persistent, robots attempt to smoosh him. Simple, but addictive
as all-get-out.
Special features:
* New weapon type (sizzle bombs)
* PowerMac native code!

Subject: Escape Velocity 105
Check your calendar: It's 2246, and the galaxy just isn't what it used
to be. Spacefaring pirates roam free, civil war rages, and simple
traders cheat death to make a living. Welcome to life in the 23rd
century!
Ambrosia Software's Escape Velocity puts you smack-dab in the middle of
that booming galaxy. As the captain of a shiny new spacecraft, you make
your fortune and build your empire. If that sounds like a walk in the
park, you're in for a surprise - dangers abound! Your lowly shuttle
craft will need more than a little luck to make a profit... and survive.
Lovingly hand-crafted by programmer Matt Burch, Escape Velocity offers a
rich and open-ended environment that evolves as you play. Over a hundred
worlds occupy the galaxy, each with its own technology, alliances, and
commodities. As you earn credits and gain fame, Confederation peace
keepers and Rebel patriots struggle for power, leaving you in the
middle.
Escape Velocity spans a number of genres, combining elements of classic
"trading" games, arcade space shoot-outs, and strategy simulations.
Whether you choose to build a trading empire, aid the Rebellion in a
civil war, or strike out on your own as a ruthless pirate, Escape
Velocity provides a multitude of options for the game connoisseur. This
open-ended gameplay allows each player to chart their own course as they
play; there's no "right" way to play Escape Velocity, as long as you
have fun!
Numerous sub-plots fill Escape Velocity's world; your choices affect the
story's development, guaranteeing that each game will be different from
the last. You'll have the opportunity to infiltrate hostile military
bases, ferry emergency supplies to distant star systems, rescue
passengers from stranded cruise ships, stop alien invaders, and more. In
addition, Escape Velocity sports an open game engine. Future scenario
designers will be able to create their own worlds for other players to
explore. Escape Velocity runs on any Mac with a 640x480 color monitor
and 5.8 megabytes of free RAM. Optimized for the PowerMac, it's
lickety-split smooth on Apple's latest iron. And of course, Escape
Velocity has the dazzling 3D rendered graphics, full stereo sound, and
all the polish that you'd expect of an Ambrosia game.

This is a very simple plugin for Escape Velocity that arms the

Hi!
This little program is intended to cheat Ambrosia's Escape Velocity
game. If you feel that cheating is not fair, just don't...
It opens pilot files from Escape Velocity, and allows to change the
amount of fuel and missiles, the credits and the date (sorry folks,
date format is dd/mm/yyyy).
It would be better to work on a copy of the pilot file....
This is not a serious program, nor I am a serious programmer.

Ambrosia Software, Inc. has just released an Escape Velocity 1.0.5
Updater. This updater only works if you already have an earlier version
of Escape Velocity. If you do not already have Escape Velocity, you need
to download the complete Escape Velocity 1.0.5 package.
This updater brings Escape Velocity up to Escape Velocity 1.0.5, the
latest version which contains a number of bug fixes and adds a few
features. All of the files in the Escape Velocity 1.0.5 Update should be
extracted into your existing Escape Velocity folder to properly upgrade
Escape Velocity to version 1.0.5.
The following is a list of the bugs that were fixed in Escape Velocity
1.0.5:
-- Fixed a bug that would sometimes negatively affect your legal status
when destroying pirates and aliens
-- Fixed a bug that would sometimes kill off pilots for no apparent
reason (pilot files from 1.0.4 or before affected by this problem can
now be used again)
-- Fixed a bug that would sometimes make hyperspace lines disappear from
the map
-- Selling the current weapon will cause it to be deselected if
necessary
-- Escort ships' fighters are no longer catatonic
-- New, more-detailed graphics for all ships
-- Beam weapons should no longer leave stray pixels behind

An irreverent yet challenging game loosely based on the popular 1980's
arcade game "Moon Patrol."
You are the driver of an armored vehicle patrolling the site of a
post-apocalyptic west coast university (hint: Not Cal). Armed with a
cannon and rocket launcher, you must defend yourself against mutant
hordes and navigate a treacherous wasteland. Prepare yourself for
eight grueling levels of giant, rabid, acorn-launching squirrels;
angry, balloon-riding, axe-wielding Cal mascots; and the gaping
ravines left by vicious earthquakes. Bring clean underwear.
REQUIREMENTS:
Macintosh computer (duh)
640x480, 256-color display
1.8 MB of free disk space
4 MB of free RAM
PREFERRED:
QuickTime 2.0 to play music
68040 processor or Power Mac for best speed
Sound Manager 3.1 or better
F.A.R.M. Patrol uses Sprite Animation Toolkit (SAT), the same
animation engine used by games such as Asterax, NeXus, and many
others. F.A.R.M. Patrol also uses the Gandreas Music System to play
background music.
F.A.R.M. Patrol was originally developed as a Senior Project for the
Stanford Computer Science Department. The project group consisted of
five undergraduate CS majors with a really sick sense of humor.
F.A.R.M. Patrol is freeware. Distribute copies as you like, but

Subject: FloorTiles 2.0.1
FloorTiles is a puzzle/arcade game for the Mac. It's in the spirit of
Tetris and Columns, but is NOT just a clone of either of those games.
It's a totally unique and original game in which you place 4-color (or
4-pattern, on B&W monitors) tiles on a grid and try to match colors with
already-placed tiles. Very simple to learn, but fun and challenging to
play. Requires both quick thinking and quick reflexes. This is version
2.0 of FloorTiles; a much-enhanced update to the original FloorTiles,
which has earned a great deal of critical acclaim (see below).
FloorTiles is actually 3 distinct games in one package. The 3 games are
similar in some respects, but each requires a different strategic
approach. Furthermore, each game can be played on either the full-sized
"Big Board" , or a smaller, quicker "Small Board", and each game can be
played in an arcade "Timer" mode or a leisurely "No-Timer" mode. Thus,
there are a total of twelve variations (3x2x2) available in this one
small program. Instructions are included in the game, under the "Guide"
and Apple menus.
This is version 2.0.1 of FloorTiles. This version introduces
preference-saving and registration via the Kagi shareware system.
Note: FloorTiles 2.0 is a shareware re-release of my commercial game
"Macao", formerly published by Axis Software.
FloorTiles runs in color on 256 color or better systems, and in glorious
B&W otherwise. Requires System 7.0 or later, 750K free RAM, any size
monitor.
Shareware, $12.00.

Subject: Fly Swatter
Hi,
Here is Fly Swatter, a little game I've written. It is freeware, with the
provision that if you use it, please try to send me a note letting me know.
The object of the game is to swat a little fly with your mouse cursor,
which appears as a fly swatter. Only one fly appears at a time. If you
swat him, a new one will appear. If you miss, the fly will hop about, so
you have to be fast!
Fly Swatter should run on most any Mac running System 6.0.4 or higher,
black and white or color. Not much testing has been done on System 6,
though.
Settings you can change in Fly Swatter:
. Number of flies that you must swat
. How long the fly stays stationary
. Scoring method
. Sound on/off
You can also adjust the size of the game window, via an invisible grow box
in the lower-right hand corner of the window. Make it small enough, and
you'll never miss! By the way, my high score for a 1/2 second fly time is
17 out of 20 flies. Beat that! :-)
I can't promise future improvements, but please let me know how you like it!
Happy swatting,
Victor Franco

Subject: Flying Nightmares Action Pack
This Pack contains:
a) Five Flying Nightmares Battle Plans
b) Information (plus some screen shots) about the forthcoming Flying
Nightmares Version 2 due for release at the end of 1995.
c) A general guide to combat in Flying Nightmares.
The five battle plans are Flying Nightmares games in progress. Just launch
the game and use the Load Game option to select a particular battle plan.
Make backup copies first.
Each of the battle plans has been designed to offer a different scenario
and each plan is very different from the Sabre Battle Plan that was
included in the release version of Flying Nightmares.
In several of the plans the enemy forces on Timor have been substantially
reinforced so the opposition will be much tougher than you are used to. The
whole pace of combat has also been speeded up and some very difficult
tactical situations created for your entertainment.
Two of the enclosed plans (Dawn Raid and Canyon Run) are new.
The other three plans have been released before but two of these plans are
revised versions (Hardway and BeachHead) which have been tweaked to make
them more demanding.
These battle plans are for Flying Nightmares veterans only. You are
strongly advised to read the relevant Briefing for each battle plan before
going into combat.

points. Frog Xing has a nostalgic look to it, with a tip of the
hat to the classic arcade games. With both traditional and new
sound effects and a hopping music score, the gameplay is addictive
and should be fun for both novices and arcade experts. Even children
will enjoy watching and helping the frog cross to the other side.
Frog Xing requires: System 7.0 or greater; preferably a 68040 Mac; at
least 16 colors or greys; a 640 x 480 display; Sound Manager 3.0; 2.5 Meg
of RAM; and 1.2 Meg of hard disk. Frog Xing is shareware and it costs $15.

Air Traffic Control software for
Microsoft Flight Simulator Macintosh version 4.0.
Fly your favorite air routes under the direction of Air Traffic
Control (ATC.) FS-ATC 3.1 incorporates artificial intelligence to
guide your flight from taxi to departure, through approach and
landing. Great for flight simulator fans. Using Apple's Speech
Manager, FS-ATC's controllers will literately speak to you.
FS-ATC gives new life to the old, venerable Macintosh version
Microsoft Flight Simulator 4.0. This will cure your PC envy with
Flight Simulator 5.1
FS-ATC is an air traffic controller software that operates with
Microsoft Flight Simulator. It runs on the background and it uses
some undocumented apple events to find out position, direction,
altitude and speed of aircraft. Using this information FS-ATC sends
messages to the pilot using Speech Manager or displays them as text.
FS-ATC 3.0 contains internal databases for VORs, center locations,
and a selection of airports. This version introduces fully automatic
air traffic control from gate of pilot chosen departure airport to the
gate of destination airport.
Controller files used in earlier versions of FS-ATC are still supported.
FS-ATC 3.1 is released as shareware (10 US$). The registered users
will receive documentation for creating controller files of their own.
DISCLAIMER: I'm not a pilot myself, I wrote the program just for fun.

the game.
To access the full documentation, including instructions on how to play
the game and how to purchase it, launch the game application, wait for

WHATÕS GERMS
Germs is a game that combines quick thinking with even quicker reflexes
as players manipulate scads of colorful, killer pathogens in order to
neutralize a biologial threat and save humanity.
The gameplay is quite simple, relying at its core on the "pick pieces
up and place them on the gameboard" model used in several games such as
MacPipes.
In Germs, the player picks up germ sprites from a "culture dish" and
arranges them on the gameboard in patterns of the same color to make
them disappear.
Germs' main features are:
¥ Gorgeous artwork in thousands of colors
¥ Six different animated germs-some cute, some nasty, all dangerous!
¥ 35 different levels of pulse-pounding puzzle action
¥ Beginner and Expert skill levels-choose what's right for you
¥ A fully-interactive tutorial to teach you the ropes
¥ 2 original electronic music tracks
¥ The ability to play your favorite mp3s as background music
¥ Multi-channel stereo sound effects
¥ Online high scores

Control Gravity with your mouse to guide a lost ship through 20
exciting levels. Each time you click on the screen, the Gravity Well is
moved to the new position, changing how the ship is attracted,
affecting it's speed and trajectory. This way you can manouver the ship
around to find an exit to the next level.
Difficult to grasp? Just turn the trajectory mode on and you'll see
exactly how a possible click of the mouse would affect the trajectory

But don't think you can just start clicking as much as you want!!! Each
level has a maximun number of times you can click. After that, you'll
begin losing points, so try to find the perfect spots to click, with
the perfect timing, to complete the levels with as few clicks as
possible...

for pain and rock solid craniums, Grag and Thog made their way to
Surfaceville...

good combat game.

Graphics/Sound:
*Many of the combat screens were redrawn with KPT Bryce.
*A Grizzly startup screen was added.

Menu fixes:
*You can now quit and escape from the player selection portion.
*A time limit has been added to the player selection screen, and the game
will begin when the timer runs out.
*The Key Setup was made a little bit cleaner.
*The HYPER/Normal buttons were added (change maximum frame rates
possible- not applicable for slower Macs).
*A registration "dialog" was added before the program starts.
Playability:
*The player faces were filtered to have a more realistic texture.

difficulty slowly to become hard.
*The computer opponent attempts less attacks/jumps than before.
*And many undocumented random bug fixes.

Gunslinger 1.0 is a shoot-out game in which the goal is to shoot and
kill all of the bad guys, but leave the good guys alone. You can
recognize the good guys because they don't carry a weapon, and thusly
don't shoot at you. Gunslinger uses real-life graphics taken with a
quickcam (connectix) camera. Gameplay is nice, although animation is a
little bumpy. Gunslinger 1.0 is freeware!

From the time we enter grade school until our matriculation, we are
indoctrinated with a drive to "make it" -- to ascend the corporate
ladder, earn a large salary, and produce successful offspring. This game
won't help you with any of that. It can, however, train you in the ways
of the swivel chair, the most versatile piece of furniture since the
ottoman with built-in soda fridge.
Throughout much of the world, workers have harnessed the power of the
swivel chair as a mobility aid. Kicking, scooting, and swiveling
liberates many who would otherwise need to get out of their chairs
throughout the course of the day. But there is only one who dares to mix
the wheels of the swivel chair with the rungs of the corporate ladder.
His coworkers call him Harry.
Join Harry the Handsome Executive as he scoots and kicks his swivel
chair through the halls of ScumCo in this delightful action game
developed by Ben Spees.. The path to job security is fraught with many
perils! Harry must avoid discomfort caused by dart-throwing middle
managers, rebellious customer service drones, crazed chemists, and a
host of other enemies. All the while, he must maintain corporate favor
or risk the feared pink slip.
Harry is not without his own weapons: he can (ahem) acquire explosive
soda cans from vending machines, and he knows how to handle an
industrial-strength staple gun -- perfect for any offensive action in
the modern workplace. Meanwhile, ScumCo's President, Dr. Ubermann, has
orchestrated a top-secret chemical manufacturing project. Perhaps
uncovering it will help Harry answer the question that has been plaguing
him since his first day on the job -- "Just what does ScumCo do,
anyway?"
Feel the synergy of a realistic office environment, and
GenuineSwivelChair Physics. Challenge youself to go against the current
as you pass the strong winds of the central HVAC system. Navigate the
legendary catacombs beneath the floors of ScumCo, and unravel the secret
of ScumCo Tower. Goal actualization has never been so much fun.

Compared to older versions, this version adds bonus levels (since 0.9 or

(native). Recommended hardware is G3/G4, 128 MB of RAM.
You, and possibly a friend, watch the action from a top-view perspective,
and control two of four mercenaries on their way down through the Epsilon
Nine bunker. On the way you will have to battle armies of mutated creatures
while navigating your way through the labyrinthine tunnels. You will find
weapons to aid your quest, and credit chips for use in the shops that appear
between levels. You will need more that a quick trigger finger to beat the
lower levels. The aim of the game is to reach the 40th floor, 2000 feet
below the surface, and destroy the breeding-machine dwelling there.

I've just uploaded a game, Island_Defender_2.sit.hqx, for posting to
Info-Mac. Here is the description:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Island Defender 2.0 - Copr. 1993, 1997 Bruce A. Pokras
Requires HyperCard Player 2.1 or higher. Version 1 was a "Software of the
Month Club" selection.
A cute little target game that lets you satisfy your desire to blow things
up. However, in doing so you make use of your ability to judge angles and
proportions, and so Island Defender is a great way for kids to learn and
practice those skills in a fun and challenging way. Island Defender
provides four levels of action against increasingly smaller target ships.
Your electronic targeting scope allows you 360 degree coverage of the
surrounding ocean from your volcano hide-away. Just set the targeting
scope, click FIRE!, and watch your mortar shell head (hopefully) towards a
direct hit on the enemy ship. If you miss, don't be surprised if the enemy
insults you!
Version 2 is the result of suggestions from registered users. A Practice
mode has been added which overlays a grid on both the shooting area and the
target scope to make it easier to learn how to aim the mortar. An Easy game
has been added which allows you to aim the mortar in a more intuitive
fashion.
Shareware $5.

This is a small, stand alone game, of the generic arcade type.
It works well on any old or new world mac, which uses the traditional
Mac OS. This game is one of my first university attempts at programming
and is therefore not OS X compliant, because X was not there then.
When I wrote this game, I had the academic world, in mind. The object of
the game is to send out messages from a typewriter, and feed the sheep
on the pastures the satisfaction they expect! Along the way you may
reasonably expect to meet the bank manager several times, have the
police drop by to say hello, and eat spam from cheap cans from the
supermarket. This game is a must for any person bored mindless, young,
and approaching first year of university life.

MacDo is a fast paced arcade game based on the classic console game 'Mr
Do' which was originally released in 1982. It has also elements of the
very similar 'Dig Dug' which was also a classic console game. So, it's
not a 100% remake of the originals but it has some extensions to them:
It's a scrolling game if the dimensions of a level require this, more
music, some extra items etc.
System Requirement
MacDo needs a PowerMac with at least 9MB free RAM running System 8 or
better. A Mac with 180Mhz is strongly recommended for the game. To hear
the game music QuickTime 2.0 or better with Musical Instruments

This game is very dangerous for busy person, because addictive.
Introduction:
The game idea of 'MaciGame' is not original. In 1985, Kuniaki Moribe
first made the game named 'Chain Shot!', in which the same color pieces
were to be coupled. Some clone games were made after 'Chain Shot!'. In
1992, 'SameGame' was made by Eiji Fukumoto for UNIX under influence of
'Chain Shot!'. Wataru Yoshioka changed the game for PC-9801(NEC) in late
1992. After Yoshioka's 'SameGame' was uploaded to FGALAM LIB 5 of
Nifty-JAPAN, the game became very popular. Adding and expanding the playing
rule, many clone games, such as 'TumeGame', 'KomeGame', 'MameGame',
'DebaGame', were made for the PC-9801. Now you can play the game both on
Windows 3.1 and on Macintosh. I know two versions for Windows and two for
Macintosh. 'MaciGame' is one of them.
System Requirement:
MaciGame will only work under System version 7.1 or later.

Subject: Maelstrom 1.4.2
This Macintosh classic is what put Ambrosia on the map as the leading
Macintosh shareware publisher. Maelstrom has received a four star rating
from Macworld, the MacUser 1993 Best Shareware Game award, and the
Shareware Industry Award for best game. Maelstrom also took first place in
the 1994 Mac Home Journal Reader's Choice Awards.
The dreaded Maelstrom is a dangerous asteroid belt within which you must
skillfully pilot your spacecraft.
Animated space debris races toward you from all points of the compass. All
that you have to protect you are your shields, razor-sharp reflexes, and an
itchy trigger finger. You must blast the asteroids before they crush your
tiny ship like a tin can. Use your shield for close calls, but be sure to
spend your shield energy wisely; you will always need it later. You also
must defend yourself from evil Shenobi fighters that weave their way
through the asteroids. These tough little fighters will fight you
toe-to-toe - don't let their size fool you.
Luckily, during your travels you will encounter a variety of objects that
will help with your mission. First aid cannisters can give you alternate
weapon systems, more shield energy, or better manuever-ability. Having your
plasma cannon set on full auto can really pull you out of a tight spot or
two.
With detailed color animation, four channels of digital sound, and smooth
game play, Maelstrom takes full advantage of the Macintosh's multi-media
capabilities. All the game needs is someone with guts and a thirst for
glory in the pilot's seat.
Price: $15.00
Requires: Any Color-Capable Macintosh

These are sounds extracted from the movie, Glengarry Glen Ross, and added

To use, back up your Maelstrom Sounds file and replace it with the one

first time you use the file, unless those around you are used to incredible
levels of profanity spilling from your computer speakers.

Hey all you rudeboys and rudegirls out there in Macintosh-land!
This is a sound file I created for the shareware game "Maelstrom" from

sound clips from my favorite Ska CDs. Featured artists include: The
Specials, Let's Go Bowling, and the Voodoo Glow Skulls, among others. For
more info, download it!
If you don't know what ska is, it's a type of Jamaican dance music
which was the predecessor of reggae, and it is becoming popular again on
the punk rock scene (who knew?). For something more informative, check out
the newsgroup alt.music.ska and you should read the Ska FAQ at:
One last note: You should increase Maelstrom's memory a bit from it's
original settings because this is a much larger sound file than the
original. Around 5000k is probably plenty, but I could be wrong, so it
wouldn't hurt to set the preferred size to as large as you can.

Mazeworld Abyss is an action-packed 3-D virtual reality arcade game. The
object is simple: on each level you must retrieve the Maze Jewel.
However, you'll have to dodge the energy bolts thrown at you by a host of
weird creatures. The Maze Domain is randomly generated, so it's
different each time you play.
Changes to version 1.5: improved and simplified game play, new and
improved wall graphics, no time limit, smoothed out sounds, and more.
Version 1.5.2 removes the delay before the ok button is enabled in the

thought they had to pay before playing the game.

Flying number-snakes have invaded the skies. (Don't you just hate it when
that happens.) Your job in Launch Control is to destroy them. Each
number-snake has a vulnerable place value that varies from snake to snake.
Hit a snake with a missile where its vulnerable and the snake is destroyed.
Hit enough snakes and you can move to new levels with responsibility for
more missile launchers and face more challenging opponents. Eventually, you
may be promoted and given more powerful missiles.
Missile Math is Freeware. Missile Math may be included in collections of
Shareware if all documentation is included. See the "Missile Math Read Me"
file for usage limitations.
Missile Math requires system 7.x, at least a 640 x 480-pixel, color or
grayscale monitor and 1.5 megabytes of free RAM. Two hundred fifty-six
colors and at least a 33 MHz 68040 processor are recommended.

Subject: Missions of the Reliant v2.2
So, you think you have what it takes to be a starship captain?
Missions of the Reliant v2.2, a zippy shareware game for the Mac, has
finally arrived! Missions was first released in 1994 and received Honorable
Mention for Best New Shareware Game of 1994 at the MacWorld Expo in Boston.
Since then, I have worked long and hard to produce version 2, which
contains new missions (3 in all), new features, new enemies, and overall
improved game play.
Missions is a game that combines the swift action of an arcade game with
the challenge of commanding a ship and its crew into battle. Unlike many
action games, Missions is more than a shoot-em-up; it requires careful
strategy, interaction with your crew members, and the skill necessary to
juggle the ship and its crew when confronted by a sudden, fierce attack by
the enemy.
Missions uses three-dimensional objects rendered in 256 colors for a more
realistic look, and achieves smooth animation through the use of Ingemar
Ragnemalm's Sprite Animation Toolkit, an excellent programmer's library for
making sprite-based animation which is available on the Internet. Also, it
employs a unique "jigsaw puzzle" approach to create hundreds of different
crew members for each game.
System requirements:
* System 7.x
* Macintosh with at least 3.5 MB of free RAM
* A 13" or larger monitor with 256 colors
* 3.3 MB of hard drive space
Missions of the Reliant v2.2 is shareware. Unregistered users may play only
one of the three available missions. Registration costs US$20 and can be
done instantaneously while-you-wait using Release Software's embedded
SalesAgent registration system. Once you register, all three missions will
be available.
For those of you who downloaded previous versions (including v2.0.x),
please download this new version, which reflects changes in my association
with various software distributors.
Visit my web site for all the information you need about the game. Point

Momentum is an addictive game of quick reflexes. I came up with this

balls by clicking in the grid to set up walls, which the balls will
bounce off of. The balls follow basic physics properties such as elastic

From: (David C Hirschfield) dch+@andrew.cmu.edu
Subject: MortalPongbat 1.4.1 PPC
What is it?
Mortal Pongbat is Pong, taken to a whole new level of vicious,
friend-losing fun.
It runs in 256 colors (automatically changed for your convenience) on
any 68020 (or better) Mac running system 7.1 or later, with 1MB
(actually it only requires about 700k) of free RAM.
There should be two copies available on this archive, the 68k version
for 68000-based Macs and a PPC version for PowerPC Macs.
Why is it?
You might be wondering why anyone would come out with yet another
version of Pong?
Well, I'll answer that...
This one is really fun.
That's not me talking, that's the dozens of students at Carnegie Mellon
University who have played it, as well as many people I have given it
to, talking.
Take original, plain vanilla Pong, add the following features, shake
vigorously and you get Mortal Pongbat:
1. Really cool graphics and effects
2. Neato nifty sounds
3. A beam weapon to burn holes in the other guy's paddle
4. Autonomous Mines bouncing around the field endangering your very
existence as a player
5. Multiple brightly colored pucks
6. Pods that block and bounce the pucks, and contain prizes for you to get
7. Prizes (as mentioned above) like: Invincibility, More Pucks, Bigger
Beam, Fix Shield
8. Two person play, as well as person vs. computer play.
How much?
Mortal Pongbat is shareware.
This simply means that if you like it and play it with friends, family,
pets or household appliances, you should probably go to the trouble of
sending me a friendly letter and a check for $20, or anything you feel
like sending.
If you hate it, throw it away, wash your hands, and write me to tell me why.

Ms. MacPerson 1.1
According to Marge Simpson, Ms. Pacman struck a blow for women's rights
in the early 80s. Somehow, this forgotten abstract gem never found its
way to the Mac...until now.
Beautiful renderings, outrageous intermissions, remarkably faithful
gameplay, and a host of 'insanely great' surprises give Ms.MacPerson a
full 90s facelift and an altogether new life.
If you're a video game fanatic, or if you've always wanted more
non-violent yet wonderfully fun abstract shareware games for your
Macintosh, or if you're an ardent feminist, this is a definite
must-have...everything from the name to the 'real' story behind baby
MacPeople has been corrected for the 90s. It's quite simply a barrel of
laughs and a beautifully addictive action game to boot!
System requirements:
7MB of free memory and any color Macintosh, but 68040 or PowerPC
strongly recommended.

PYRAMAD - The Egyptian Pyramid Game
The secret pastime of the ancient Egyptians has finally been revealed.
Pyramad will fascinate you as well with its intriguing combination of luck
and skill. As you will discover, the real curse of the Pharaohs was that
they could not stop playing this game!
Pyramad is simple to play, yet endlessly challenging. The object of the
game is to build a complete pyramid from randomly drawn blocks. You must
match the hieroglyphics along each side of the blocks in order to place
them together. Continue playing by stacking them up on the next level of
the pyramid. If you can reach the top, you win!
There are actually two different games contained within Pyramad. The "Game
of the Nile" and the more advanced "Game of Pharaoh" are sure to entertain
players of all abilities. Also included is an interactive guide book which
illustrates a sample game and some basic strategies to assist your play.
Beautifully rendered authentic Egyptian graphics make this game a true work
of art. Pyramad is a magical new experience for every kind of game player
that will captivate novice and expert alike. It is a must-have for
solitaire or mahjong tile fans and anyone else who appreciates a really
great game. Like the pyramids of Egypt, Pyramad is a timeless classic.

skunks are provided, but you can also make your own.
Disclaimer: We do not encourage mistreatment of innocent animals!
This game is similar to the "Wack-a-mole" games you find in some amusement
parks, where moles peek out of holes and you should hit them before they go
back in again. That's exactly what you do here, with the difference that it
isn't moles, but symbols for whatever you feel like hitting for the moment.
You must have a 640x480 pixel screen and 256 colors. (Sorry if you don't -
there are some good reasons, believe me!) A 68LC040 processor or better is
strongly recommended. Fat binary. Tested on Performa 630, PowerMac 6100 and
PowerMac 7600.
Freeware.

Subject: Snake Byte 1.2, an arcade game
Snake byte is an arcade game in which you are a snake who has to eat apples
in order to live and prosper. The problem is, as you eat more apples, you
grow longer and move faster.
And if by mistake you run into your tail or a wall, you die. If you can
avoid this and eat enough apples, you'll get to go to snake heaven... which
is another level with more walls!
Version 1.2 adds customizable difficulty, and 4-key movement, corrects some
bugs and is faster.
Color, sound, cute graphics, excitement, freeware!
Download snavely-104.hqx (1,354,833 KB)
From: KarlBunker@aol.com
Subject: Snavely 1.0.4
Snavely is a completely original arcade game for the Mac. In Snavely it is your
job to control two big-nosed, wriggly snakes. You have to keep them from
wandering off the edge of the playing board, and maneuver them so they cross
paths, creating an "egg" and scoring points. As you progress through the levels
of Snavely, your snakes encounter a variety of objects -- some that are useful,
and some that make trouble for you and your snakes. Snavely takes only about one
minute to learn, but the complexity, difficulty and strategic possibilities
increase with each successive level, so it should take you a long, long time to
get bored with the game. Complete instructions to Snavely are within the game,
under the Apple menu.
Snavely is completely non-violent, making it suitable for all ages and all
sensibilities, while the higher levels of the game present a hefty challenge even
for experienced arcade-game-fiends.
Snavely can be played by one person, or by two people playing cooperatively (one
person controlling each snake). The latter option has been applauded by parents
for the unique opportunities it provides for cooperative play for two children or
for a parent and child.
Snavely is simple to learn, but not simple-minded. For example, the "reward"
objects you encounter are not just arbitrary "power-ups". They are meaningful
tools that you can make use of to your advantage, or misuse to your peril.
Snavely is a professional quality game with smooth, fast animation, multi-channel
sound, background music, and all that cool stuff.
This is version 1.0.4 of Snavely. This version introduces the use of the Kagi
shareware payment system.

Space Debris is a Crystal Quest style game for Macintosh. An update was
released today for the first time in over two years, bringing it to v2.2.
¥ Space Debris is now nearly five years old. The shareware fee, originally
$25.00, no longer seems appropriate, and for that reason, I have cut the
price to just $10.00 as of this release. Special thanks to all those who
paid for Space Debris at the original price.
¥ The Control Strip is now hidden during play (PowerMacs only).
¥ Fixed a cosmetic glitch that occurred during loading on some systems.
¥ Updated the web and e-mail addresses in the program.
¥ Added a speed throttle to the monitor fade in/out so that it doesn't occur
instantly on PowerMac G4s.
¥ Rewrote the preferences handling code. The format has been changed,
unfortunately, so you will need to re-enter your old registration code if
you are upgrading from a previous release.
¥ Corrected a bug that caused some of the enemies on later levels to jump
alarmingly under certain situations.
¥ Added a display of how many games you've played to the about box.
¥ Appearance Alert dialog boxes are now movable.
¥ Probably other minor things I can't remember.

Subject: SpaceInvader! 1.04
Here is a new game called SpaceInvader!, I created for the Macintosh. It's a
fast action "shoot em up" type game with 30 frame per second animation,
currently require 8 bit (256) color/gray to run (if there's enough interest and
resource, I will make it run under other color depth in future updates). It uses
640x480 full screen. Although not recommended, if you have a bigger size monitor
and know how to use ResEdit, you can change the "battle field" to a larger size
by increasing the window size of the WIND resource (there's only one) to
anything NO BIGGER than your real screen size.
SpaceInvader! is distributed as shareware. The author asks for $20 shareware fee
if you like it and play it more than once. If you REALLY couldn't afford it,
send any amount you prefer. By sending me your donation, you are helping me to
obtain enough resource and encouragement to write better games for the
Macintosh. Your help will be very apprecaited. Anyone who send donation will
receive a Thank You letter with registration code to personalize the copy, and
get any future updates free. The game is not protected. Please distribute only
the unregistered copy.
SpaceInvader! is a fast action "shoot em up" game, the goal is to achieve
highest score. I am trying to make it very responsive so you can shoot and
maneuver as fast as you can, more or less a practice of your response. You are
armed with a bullet gun or a laser gun. Bullet costs you 1 point, you get lasers
by catching laser supply. There are four types of enemy bomb ships dropping
bombs, each type has different level of shield protection. Enemy also has bullet
gun ship and laser ship that shoot bullets and lasers at you. Besides, there are
seven types of enemy special war ships that do some nasty things to you: drop
atomic bomb, shoot missile, lay mines, drop plague slows down your speed, drop
S-bomb blast you ammunition, drop parity change your sense of left and right
(it's really a hi-tech war out there! *smile*), and drop 'ozone' layer shorten
your gun range. You are not helpless though, there are four types of friendly
supply ships provide you with extra life, free bullets (you will certainly
appreciate it if your ammunition is blasted), faster move speed, and laser
supply (laser is awfully powerful, try it!). Well, of course, you had to catch
these supplies first. There are atomic time bomb and four types of magic that
appear randomly, provide you with extra score or take score from you without
mercy, you must shoot them down to get the bonus or avoid being hit by them
within limited time. Each level is more difficult than the previous one (enemy
shoot or bomb faster, supplies are more difficult to catch, etc.). With all
these, get a high score and have fun.
SpaceInvader! is tested on MacII, IIcx, IIci, Quadra 700, under sys7 & 6.0.5 up.
Please send any bug reports, problems ... to me so it can be fixed in future
updates.
I also developed another Mac software called PianoSim for the Macintosh. It's a
music instrument simulation with full music input and edit ability. Try it and
have fun. Thank you for your time, hope you enjoy the game.

Subject: Space Mercs 0.9.5 - public beta release
Obligatory-hyped up-over generalizing-catch-phrase:
"Space Mercs takes the fast-action pace of Space War and meshes it with
the endless variety and economical factors of Scorched Earth to formulate
a one-of-a-kind game available only for Macintosh."
The goal of Space Mercs varies depending upon which game set is being
used, but usually you are trying to make as much money for your nation as
you can. The player that makes the most wins. To make money, your
nation has dropped you off into a distant mining zone. You are to scuttle
around picking up the ore deposits that appear. After an ore deposit is
brought on board, your processing equipment starts refining it. Once
complete, the valuable extract is beamed home; your nation cashes in, and
rewards you with some credits of your own.
The mining zones are located in disputed space, and you will most likely
find miners from other nations competing for the same ore. Fitted with
weapons, you hope to at least defend yourself if not swipe some ore
harvested by others. When your ship is destroyed, your emergency eject
device sends you home where you are fitted with another ship. Soon
enough, you'll be back to try and redeem yourself. When a zone is cleared
out and all ore processed, you return home. If the expedition was good,
you should be able to refit your ship in preperation for the next trip...
All of these sets were made with the built-in editor. With ease you can
alter any aspect of the game: weapon damage, mass, engine power,
everything! Also, in the resource fork of your game set, you can store
alternate graphics and sounds to give your game set a thematic flare.
System Requirements:
* 256 colors
* 13" monitor or larger (supports 640x480 and will use 832x624 if possible)
* 4MB RAM
* CPU: not sure about this one yet. 040's should work fine, low end 030's
might not. Let me know how it goes, and I might look into some more
optimization.

Subject: Spiked v2.1
Spiked 2.1 is an update to the game Spiked 2.0.
Spiked is a fast-paced two-player arcade game of skill and cunning. Each
player pilots a ship. A big, nasty spike floats about the screen. Anything
that touches this spike dies a horrible death. To win, you must knock the
other player into the spike.
Spiked follows the laws of physics. Objects collide and bounce off each
other. While the players cannot directly harm each other, they may ram each
other into the spike. Other objects include rocks, which float around
getting in everyone's way, and gifts.
Gifts make Spiked interesting. When a player picks up a gift, he/she
obtains the item inside the gift. These items include new lives, speeders
which let you escape dangerous situations, and weapons such as cannonballs,
twisters which tie up the other player, gravitrons which pull objects
towards the player firing the gravitron, and projectiles which turn rocks
into spikes. A crafty player can use several items in sequence to trap and
destroy their opponent.
Spiked requires at least 3.5 Mb RAM, a 68030 or better processor, and a 14"
or larger color monitor. Spiked features 3-d rendered graphics.
Spiked 2.1 is an update from Spiked 2.0. This update fixes two major bugs
(once in a while, the game would up and quit, or freeze between matches).
The game can now be played in 256, thousands, or millions of colors. There
are new graphics, snappier event processing, and the new rockyspiker item.
Overall, the game is more stable.
Spiked is freeware. Give it to your friends and enemies, and let me know
what you think of it!

You hammer at it with your own laser nails and then smile as it changes to
a cloud of space debris. You relax and command the computer to give you a
damage report. You took some heavy hits it appears. You set co-ordinates
for home base and engage the hyperdrive. The stars turn to searing white
lines as you head for home at a speed Einstein would have said was
impossible. You land at your home port and collect your bounty on the
slime your ship's computer recorded as now being cosmic dust. Next you
stop by the Federation garage and have your ship repaired. You have a
large amount of pocket change and so elect to have that new Plasma Laser
Gun installed as well as bump up the power of your shields. You find you
still have money left over, so what the heck. You stop by the local resort,
gamble a few bucks, then stop by and see the stripper do her thing
......ahhhh life is good.

their 1997 Game Hall of Fame.
Here is a description: You're trapped! Locked inside a zany world with objects
that might have come out of your childhood toy chest! You've got to get to the
door, but first you have to get the key! Quick - jump the wheelies, avoid the
beanies, dodge the ostriches, and get out before the cannon destroys all the toy
blocks. It won't be easy, but it will be FUN!
As you graduate from level to level, the obstacles become more numerous and the
challenges more difficult. You'll have to think fast and act quickly. You have
the power to create blocks to help you climb, and magic balls and arrows will
help you defeat the robos, ants, walkers and smilies. But will that be enough?

Swat-Tac-Toe(TM) 3.0.1 - Copr. 1993-95, 97 Bruce A. Pokras
Requires HyperCard(R) Player 2.2 or higher, or Hyper-Stack Player (any
version).
Swat-Tac-Toe gives the ordinary game of Tic-Tac-Toe a challenging
arcade-like action. The game requires players to earn their X or O by
swatting a bug which is jumping around the Tic-Tac-Toe grid (or by popping
an elusive bubble). Two game choices are available: "One square" is a
fast-paced game which allows the player to choose a square and confines the
bug or bubble to that square; "Whole grid" lets the bug (or bubble) jump
around the entire grid and you get the X or O wherever you swat (or pop)
it. Three difficulty levels with increasingly faster bugs (or bubbles).
Version 3 adds color and also improves mouse-clicking responsiveness.
Shareware $5 (30 day trial period). May be registered world-wide through
the Kagi Shareware service.

.....
Developed by David Wareing, of Adelaide, Australia, Swoop is an arcade
classic combining pulse-quickening game play with state of the art computer
animation and audio effects. Smooth flowing action, detailed full color
graphics, and custom sound effects all provide for exciting game play. The
only thing missing is the cash box in which to pump your coins.
Since the dawn of time, good people have always fought the iron glove of
oppression. Never before has the fight been so desperate; never before have
the stakes been so high. This time the fight is not over politics,
religion, or territory. For now, the very survival of the human race hangs
in the balance. The Swoopers have come.
The Swoopers - a sinister race of aliens from a distant quadrant of another
galaxy - have targeted earth for destruction. Alien agents have disabled
the Earth's sophisticated defense systems, leaving the home planet
virtually unprotected. The only thing that stands between the hungry
Swooper legions and their goal is you and your trusty George Pal class
fighter ship. Alone, against all odds, you must fight off the invading
horde.

Subject: TankWars 2.0.0
Tank Wars 2.0.0 is finally available! Tank Wars is a futuristic battle
simulation game between tanks. Play against the computer or another human
player. The tank battles take place in an arena in post nuclear Las Vegas
where other competitive tank drivers compete with each other. Whenever you
win a battle with the computer player, you will be given a certain amount
of money that can be used to buy power up items for your tank. The object
of the game is to gradually gain money to buy items to upgrade your tank.
When your tank is sufficiently powerful, you may attempt to defeat the
final boss tank (Select "Final Boss" from the Difficulty Menu). BEWARE:
The Final Boss is SMART and TOUGH! But if he is defeated you will find
that the reward was well worth the trouble. Tank Wars is shareware - the
fee is $5. Once the fee is paid, any program or upgrade I produce will be
yours for FREE, plus I will send you a registration code that will make
your tanks more powerful than you can possibly imagine.
New features since version 1.0.2:
The improvements from version 1.0.2 are:
- Now you can fire as many shots as you want (up to 10)!
- The "Arena" window will size itself depending on your monitor size.
- The music feature is now enabled allowing you to listen to any of your
favorite MIDI's while playing the game!
- Better sound effects
- "Phasers" is now the most powerful weapon (Damage is 100 per hit)
- Completely optimized source code. If you wish to obtain a copy of the
source code, please send e-mail to me at: rb62@cornell.edu
- The direction in which you can fire your weapon is no longer dependent
upon the direction in which you happen to be going.
System requirements:
* System 6.8 or greator
* Mac needs a 68020+ CPU to run Tank Wars
* Mac needs a 68030+ CPU to play Tank Wars MIDI's

From: Gilles.Esposito-Farese@cpt.univ-mrs.fr
Subject: Utopia 1.1.0
"Utopia" is a color vision and reflex test, by G.E-Farese & N.Graner.
Its name is an allusion to a short story by Jorge Luis Borges.
It should work on any Macintosh with at least 256 colors.
A window is filled with squares of different colors. One of these
colors is unique, whereas the others appear at least twice. The aim
of the game is to click as fast as possible on the unique color.
At the beginning, this unique color is very different from the other
ones, but they get progressively closer, and also fainter. The game
is thus harder and harder.
The difficulty can be changed thanks to many different options, from
quite easy children games to monstruous configurations reserved for
gifted mutants. The replacement of colors by sets of pictures makes
the game even more challenging. Some new picture sets are proposed
in version 1.1.0. The program also proposes a two-player version.
"Utopia" is freeware, but if you like it, please consider making a
donation to your local or national Retinal Degeneration association
(see http://www.irpa.org/).

WhackIt! is a simple-in-concept, addictive game for the Mac, the whole Mac,
and nothing but the Mac. It is, to my knowledge, the first truly playable and
accurate port of the Whack-A-Mole arcade game to the home computer.
Most of you by now already know what I am talking about. You have a paddle,
there are a bunch of holes, and out of them pop little animals of some sort
(in this case, look sort of like moles...they're definitely rodents...). You
take the paddle and WHACK! them. For this you get points; if you wait too
long and they disappear back into their holes untouched, you lose.
This Mac version is faithful to the original, only you don't have to pay the
quarter. You can either control a virtual paddle with the mouse or simply use
the keyboard (or both, if you're some kind of wizard). It has funny sounds,
smooth animation, and works on just about any Mac. Also, contains 5 skill
levels to ensure a challenge for all ages and reflex speeds.
This version of WhackIt! is completely free, completely functional, and
guaranteed to continue challenging your scores to greater heights for a long
time. It's a short download, and contains a preview of later versions that
will feature the ability to WHACK! annoying people like Bill Gates, Barney,
and a mime. Try it; I'm sure you'll enjoy it.

monitor to 256 colours automatically when you run it. The objective of
Zap'T'Balls is to destroy all the bouncing balls on any given level. When a large
ball is hit, it splits into two medium sized balls; a medium sized ball splits
into two smaller balls; and when the smaller balls are hit, they disappear. Once
all the balls have been destroyed, you will progress to the next level. The
player is controlled using the mouse, both to move and to fire your gun. Contact
with the bouncing balls is immediately fatal and should be avoided.
