Remember the Ambrosia Software game Ares, from the late 1990s? It was very much like Vendetta, and had some kickass music (in my opinion). I've taken the freely downloadable .mp3 files, converted them to .ogg format and added an m3u playlist. Installation instructions for MacOS X and Windows/Linux are included.

Gah! Ares is not old! Even if you think that, it still kicks ass!

Good work ctishman.

Did I say old? Point out the line where I typed the words 'old'. Anyhow, thanks. :P

Took the liberty of making a Windows installer.

woo! ares music goodness!
wait... ku, if i ogged&zipped oni (unfortunately not the entire ost) and marathon music, would you host it?

Well, I would if you got specific permission from Bungie, or can point me to the page where it says it's OK to reencode and/or redistribute.

/me hums the marathon 2 theme

And for all you OS X users out there. Here is a plugin to play .ogg files in iTunes on those rare occasions you're not playing vendetta.

SL, Ares is pretty damned old... :P

Anywho, I never actually got around to playing much Ares. I was never able to figure out the controls, and now I'm dividing my time between FF XI (go Valefor!) and Civ III (must buy Conquests...), so I don't really have the time for it.

Ares rocked! How could you not figure out the controls? It even tells you how!

plus, they're pretty obvious once you now them. it's like playing the piano: if you haven't done so for a long time, it takes you a few minutes, but you're soon back in full swing.
too bad ASW hasn't got the slightest intention to port Ares to osx (mrrh), and it doesn't run well under classic (another reason to always keep an OS 9 partition: Civ2, WipeOut 2097 and now Ares, not counting all the LucasArts and Sierra Adventures).

anyway, thanks for the plugin, magus :)

"Ares rocked! How could you not figure out the controls? It even tells you how!"

I was about 12 when I tried it...

Ares isnt old.

Indeed not. it's younger than EV... or Maelstrom, for that matter.
An "old" game for mac (one of the oldest I know, that is) would be aqua blooper piper by casady & greene, and even that one already ran on colour macs...

Pyro: I was 11. nyah nyah.

Shaddup. :P

Pff... if you want an old vendetta-like game, try Elite... I was what, 5-6 years old when my dad got it, and was still better at it than him.

Mmmm, unfilled polygons... :P

I was 9 1/2 foo :P

heheheh.... before I got Vendetta.
