Ares is a sci-fi real-time strategy action game developed by Nathan Lamont from Bigger Planet Software and published by Changeling Software in 1998 for Mac OS 9. Nathan didn't earn any profit from the sales of the game, due to Changeling's poor marketing. Changeling Software became defunct later that year, so Nathan modified Ares and re-released it as shareware by Ambrosia Software in 1999. Thanks to Ambrosia's marketing efforts, the game became successful and reached its peak in the late 1990s. In 2008, Nathan Lamont released the original source code to Ares under the GNU GPL 2.0, and most of the media under the CC Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike license. This has produced Antares, which is a port of Ares for Mac OS X and Linux.
A JezzBall clone with delightful gameplay additions and beautiful artwork.

Your job is to use your shooter to isolate them. Sounds easy, right?
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.

Star Control: Origins is a science fiction action-adventure game that combines planetary exploration, diplomacy with alien races, and one-on-one ship-to-ship space battles. Players captain a starship, sending a lander to survey planets, gather resources, and examine artifacts, then spending those resources on new technologies, weapons, upgrades, and ships from other races. The top-down Fleet Battles pit two vessels against each other and can be played against the AI or in multiplayer. It is considered part of the Star Control series but takes place in a separate universe from the original games.
