Product Description:

You are the pilot of Quantum, an Omega-class fighter patroling deep space. It's a lonely assigment.

Suddenly, and predictably, you are caught in a sub-space anomoly and transported to the middle of a mysterious region of space with a black hole at its center and deadly asteroids drifting by. You'll encounter hostile aliens and mysterious floating artifacts.

Quantum is a new, updated take on the classic game of Asteroids. It's Asteroids taken to another level, updating the vector-graphic goodness of the original, adding:

  • aliens that actually fight back
  • floating artifacts to help you survive
  • a large (and resizable!) playing area
  • a particle engine
  • three difficulty levels
  • and the dreaded black hole, relentlessly pulling everything toward its inky maw.

What's new in this version:

  • Fixed a bug related to the game ending by black hole explosion.

Operating System Requirements:

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

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC

Additional Requirements:

    Mac OS 10.4 or later.
    It has been tested successfully on a 1.0-GHz Mac with a G4 processor, but a G5 or Intel processor and 1 GB RAM are recommended.

Quantum ReviewNot a replacement for Maelstrom - Version: 1.2.2, 3/16/2009 09:42PM PST

I had high hopes that this would be a decent copy of the old OS9 Maelstrom, but unfortunately it is not a faithful update and has many changes that make gameplay a whole lot less fun. I wish Ambrosia would release an OSX version.

Quantum CommentaryMaelstrom Still the #1 Astroids Game (Sorry, nice effort) - Version: 1.0.2, 12/7/2007 06:03PM PST

Most people probably don't know that the legendary (at least in 90s Mac world) Maelstrom was ported to OS X a few years back (after being a favorite and one of the first successful shareware games ever for the Mac--from Ambrosia, which is still around). That game at least took the graphics to a new level (though the graphics have actually been done better than that game, it is still wonderful in its simplicity). I'm not sure how it works in 10.5, but it still "rocked" (and it literally rocks with its soundtrack) in 10.4.

However, it's biggest drawback is its small window, which this game at least does much better with. Remember, it came during the Mac Classic era. However, if you're an astroids fan, check this game out, but also check out the Maelstrom X, for some nostalgia if nothing else.

$14 for an asteroids game that: "has been tested successfully on a 1.0-GHz Mac with a G4 processor, but a G5 or Intel processor and 1 GB RAM are recommended."?? A G5 and 1 GB of RAM for asteroids?? Will this thing make me breakfast too?
