[5:30 PM] Ambrosia Updates Classic Game For Modern Macs by Staff The good people of Ambrosia have updated a classic Mac game for modern Macs. The company has released Apeiron with support for USB input devices, a must for all shipping Macs. According to Ambrosia: Ambrosia Software, Inc. took a cybernetic vacuum cleaner to the code vault and, after a thorough cleaning, announced that its classic hit Apeiron is ready for iMac, iBook, and other popular Macintosh computers with USB ports. Apeiron's psychedelic setting is the mushroom patch, home to the ravenous Pentipede, and other garden dwellers bent on chasing and destroying your crystal. Luckily, you've got a plasma blaster, and powerup coins are hidden in the patch. "You'd be surprised at how many people are addicted to this venerable title," said David Dunham, Ambrosia's Technical Support Director and Leg Breaker. "I must have gotten thousands of e-mail messages in the last year about it. Now the masses can be appeased!" Apeiron, one of Ambrosia's smash hits of 1995, was originally written by Andrew Welch, and updated to support Apple's InputSprocket by Ben Spees. Previous versions of Apeiron balked at USB devices and also at certain non-Apple ADB devices. Apeiron's price is unchanged at US $15, and any Mac made in the last decade should be able to run it with ease. Grace your new Mac with this timely classic, and be glad Apple's in better shape than in 1995 when the original game was released! You can find more information on the title at Ambrosia's web site. Apeiron is priced at US$15. Ambrosia
