Ambrosia's Maelstrom Ported to Mac OS X

There are lots of reasons why Ambrosia Software is cool and most of them have names like Apeiron, Barrack, Escape Velocity, and Maelstrom. Most old school Mac nerds know Ambrosia for their awesome arcade style games from the mid-1990's. I know I spent way too many hours playing Apeiron on my PowerMac 7100 in college when I should've been studying or writing that paper.

When Ambrosia released a Mac OS X version of Apeiron a few years ago, I was ecstatic. I can clearly remember wishing also for a Mac OS X version of Maelstrom, my other favorite Ambrosia game. Sam Lantinga has been listening and has ported Maelstrom to run natively in Mac OS X. In this new version, there's even some network play so you can take on your friend or co-worker.

The accompanying readme file says that this version isn't supported by Ambrosia but is recommended highly. The game has been released under a GPL license. Shields up!
