If I could find fully functioning versions of Ambrosia’s software, I would download this in a heartbeat. I bought every game the minute it became available back in the day. Andrew Welch use to post here occasionally

I was playing Ambrosia games on SheepShaver last year or so. Not sure where I got them from, but probably here: https://macintoshgarden.org/games/e?page=7 https://macintoshgarden.org/games/e?page=7

Grab the software from the Macintosh Repository and while you're there, grab the "DecoderRing": https://www.macintoshrepository.org/63637-ambrosia-software-decoderring https://www.macintoshrepository.org/63637-ambrosia-software-.... The latter will require a modern(ish) mac rather than running in an older classic mac but it will generate valid license keys for any old Ambrosia software.

I tried setting up SheepShaver on a Steam Deck specifically to play Bubble Trouble (no modern-PC-compatible versions or even similar games seem to exist), but I never got it to work. The easiest way I have to play it is firing up an old iMac G3.

  It looks like there was a version that worked on Classic OS and OS X.

    I recall some missing dependencies or drivers stopping the game from starting in SheepShaver. I was able to resolve some, but not all of them (I remember something with "carbon" in the name). It seemed like it was a sound-related issue, but the game wouldn't start at all, I couldn't even play it muted. I may try again at some point. Maybe there's a forum where I could get some help.

Google's special relationship with Reddit says the Ambrosia website disappeared only 6 years ago. Perhaps you could try emailing the guy?

No need to download anything. You can emulate a Macintosh in your web browser and play Ambrosia games including Bubble Trouble on Infinite Mac. https://infinitemac.org/1997/Mac%20OS%207.6 https://infinitemac.org/1997/Mac%20OS%207.6
