Product Description:

Bubblegym is to my knowledge the first tilt-sensitive game for notebook computers. When Apple revised their Powerbook line earlier this year, they added Sudden Motion Sensor (SMS), a detector that is used to protect the hard drive if the machine gets dropped. Chances are, they probably weren't expecting it to be used as a video game controller...

What's new in this version:

This update fixes an issue where previous models (not hi-res) of the Powerbook G4 with 15" display had the tilting reversed. Also a few minor updates, recommended to all users with Mac OS X 10.4.3 or later.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9
  • Mac OS X 10.3

Additional Requirements:

  • Tilt functionality requires Amstracker
  • and a computer equipped with an Apple Motion Sensor. As of March 2005 this includes only the latest generation of 12"
  • 15"
  • and 17" Powerbooks G4. The application was created to run under Mac OS X and was tested only on version 10.3.8.

Bubblegym CommentaryVery Poor Demo - Version: 0.7.0, 8/16/2006 03:36AM PST

It seems to work okay, but the demo only lets you play for about 5 seconds, which makes it a waste of bandwidth to download.

This might "work" on Intel macs, but it's still a PowerPC binary. My machine gets really hot playing it, which isn't a good thing when you have to hold your laptop to play.
