Ambrosia Software was a predominantly Macintosh software company founded in 1993 and located in Rochester, New York, U.S.Ambrosia Software was best known for its Macintosh remakes of older arcade games, which began with a 1992 version of Atari, Inc.' S Asteroids from.
GooBall is a Macvideo game by Over The Edge Entertainment, now Unity Technologies, and published by Ambrosia Software. In the game, the player assumes the role of an alien stranded on Earth. 'Goober', as the alien becomes known to the CIA, is stuck inside a life support device made of protoplasm (hence the title). The gameplay is similar to the Super Monkey Ball series in that the player tilts the environment, which causes Goober to roll around in it, collecting gems and making his way to the end gate. Unlike in Super Monkey Ball, however, Goober can stick to surfaces by holding down the command key.

- GooBall 1.0.2 features the following changes/enhancements: Now a Universal Binary, fully compatible with Intel-based Macs Physics engine changed from ODE to Ageia PhysX for improved real-life.

Gooball Mac Os Catalina
'Crippled' shareware[edit | edit source]
Gooball Mac Os Update
One of Ambrosia's founding mantras was that shareware software should not be distributed as crippleware. The company's software was released on the honor system with only a short reminder that you had used the unregistered software for 'x' amount of time, creating what is commonly called nagware. This policy has since been changed and the company today employs typical shareware piracy prevention measures. Their software products now fall under the category of crippleware. An article in the company's newsletter, the Ambrosia Times, outlines the factors that played into the policy change.[4]
