The best part of having a Mac in the 90s, as a kid, was Ambrosia's games. I've spent countless hours on Bubble Trouble, Barrack, Harry, Mars Rising, Slithereens, Ares and many others, which I got as demos on Macworld CDs. I even bugged my parents and managed to convince them to send 15$ in an envelope to the USA to buy the license for Bubble Trouble. My father still plays Barrack on his PowerMac G5 from time to time (he's still a pro).

But all things end -- and Ambrosia's gaming business has been dead for a while, unfortunately. I just keep hoping they release the source code for their old games, so someone can create OS X ports...
