__________
Altair is a simple game with a simple goal - line up four balls, up and down, across, or diagonally and you win. The fly in the ointment here is that generally your opponent will have the exact same goal. And I know for a fact that all of Altair's computer opponents hate to lose, so you'd better play smart.

Apeiron 1.0.0
Ambrosia Software

Tricks CD:Games:
/info-mac/game/arc/
__________
Apeiron combines arcade action of yesteryear with futuristic full color animation and digital sound. During a port through the looking glass the mirror shatters and your ethereal energy (you know, the stuff that allows you to get up and go to work on a Monday morning...) is trapped within one of the crystal shards. Immediately the residents of the mushroom patch sense your presence. Lead by the Pentipede, this motley crew of mushroom patch misfits relentlessly hunt the crystal ( You! ), intent upon sucking the trapped energy out. The Pentipede is a sinister creature that has the ability to divide. So, if you think your troubles are over if you shoot this sneakered psycho once, you are twice as wrong.

Bikaka 1.4 is yet another Tetris clone. Sure. To be precise, it is a hexagonal tetris. Some of you might scream "Hextris" when I say that. Yes, I know about Hextris, even though I didn't when I wrote the game. The two games are just about as different as two games can be while still being "hexagonal Tetrises".
Blackjack Deluxe is a very sophisticated simulation of Blackjack. You'll be hard pressed to find a better program, especially if you want to really learn how to play the game.

Tricks CD:Games:
/info-mac/game/arc/
__________
Chiral is a fusion between the scientific concept of atomic bonding and the addictive game play of Tetris. It is based upon the ill fated tale of Molecular Tendencies Laboratories. Attempting to develop a new form of "clean energy", molecular chemists have created a machine that fabricates atoms out of thin air. Unfortunately for the chemists in the lab, and mankind in general, once the reaction has started there is no way to stop it. The result is the introduction of unattached, unstable atoms into our atmosphere. As an acting participant in this experiment gone wrong, the player must stabilize these newly formed atoms to avoid further turmoil in this already strife ridden world of ours.
