This section features reader responses to Ambrosia's software & service. We will include the good with the bad, and address any problems brought to our attention. These are real people writing real letters about real issues. Feel free to drop us a line.

Snapz Pro 2

This came in the other day from Marc R. Hoffman, a satisfied user of Snapz Pro 2.

I recently did a review of Virtual PC 3.0, and used SnapzPro for the whole thing. I would like to invite you to check it out.

He created a movie of a Mac, running Virtual PC, running Basilisk, a 68K Mac emulator, running Fractal Painter. Phew! and Snapz Pro 2 recorded the whole thing. You can take a look at the movie on our What's New page. Read the news from 12/15.

It'll make a perfect entry in our QuickTime movie festival.

Ares

And this came from Michael Fee:

No need for help...yet

Just a word to say thanks for Ares.

Just finished it . (Pool for planets? mad chasing through asteroid belts?...you must be having a laugh...great!)...enjoyed every campaign.

Download Ares to see just what he's talking about...

Ferazel's Wand

Here are a few comments recieved with registrations for Ferazel's Wand. Thanks to John Champlin, our man in operations, for forwarding them on...

From Aaron Cloutier:

Your company consistently does exceptional work, but this is by far the best of the best. An astounding game and I've only played the demo.

Keep up the good work.

Aww, shucks, you're gonna make us blush...

From Seth Scott:

This game is absolutely stunning. I think that even given the neat games you've made in the past, Ferazel *is* the most awesome game you have ever made, in terms of graphics, animation, gameplay, plot. Unbelievable! Have some money, send me the CD!!

Ben Spees, the creator of Ferazel's Wand, has really outdone himself. To see what all the fanfare is about, download the Ferazel's Wand Demo today!

Eclipse Rant Winner

When Berkeley Systems announced that it was not updating After Dark for Mac OS 9 compatibility, we offered a competitive upgrade to our OS 9-ready Eclipse screen saver at a discounted rate, awarding a prize to the person who came up with the most creative After Dark rant. The winner was Alex Broner of Kendall Park, New Jersey:

Ok, once my grandmother was over (yes, I do admit that she was once a space pirate) and I wanted to show her some things on my computer. I took her over and tried to run After dark (I had not run it since upgrading to 9.0), and low and behold not only did it crash my computer, but it also raided my bank acount (which is strange since I do not have one) and most of all, I became fiscaly responsible for NASA's ultra secret "put geneticly engineered purple stealth walrus's in space" program (which has an average annual expense of roughly $100,000,000, 042.32). The next thing I knew I was obducted by aliens who attemted that whole probe thing, but before they could violate me like that (I am very modest) I escaped in flying house which landed in a strange colorful place called Oz where I was surrounded by cute little munchkin things. One of them gave me a dirty look so I was forced to hunt down and kill them all with nothing more then a couple of hand grenades, a flamethrower, and a spork (all which I bought at Home Depot back in 1994, a good year by the way) to make a long story short I was then hired by a giant hamster to keep its weel lubricated (which is more complicated then you might think) and in my spare time I play Ambrosia games on my computer (which is also from Home Depot).
We're not sure we believe you, Alex, but your rant was certainly the most creative. Have a shirt and CD on us! And to everyone else out there: Don't believe for a second that using someone else's software will get you abducted by aliens.

Software alien abduction is an Ambrosia patent, after all.
