Help
I thought support for Ares had been discontinued, but maybe I was wrong. Does anyone know more about this, like how well under classic Ares runs and how "smooth" multiplayer performance is?
I take it its also not the version on the website, am I wrong there too?
Wait...what? Maybe Gods Really Are Everlasting

I gave up trying classic games in OS X after what I saw 10.3 do to EV. 
I use my windoze laptop with Basilisk II to play Ares and EV now. It's nice, though I need my extended keyboard to play Ares.

So long as I don't have to do any networking (Ethertap got killed somewhere between Linux kernels 2.6.8 and 2.6.16), I can play Ares on my Linux box under Basilisk.
Rule 1 of Linux kernels: keep your old one handy. Failure to comply will likely result in anything from a broken feature to an unbootable system.

You put what in my Power Mac?
Its like what happens when you cross a phoenix with a super black hole; it's powerful enough to destroy itself, only to be reborn in a vicious cycle of torment and pain. Or in this case, nonsense.
-Avatara, on the life cycle of ATT.

I know savvy people can run Ares on Basilisk, but has anybody tried playing under Classic?

For this week only, I'm offering a perfect condition Dedicated Ares Box 2.0. It's a beige desktop box with included 15in monitor that runs Ares in its original, perfect glory! Act now, only $99.95!*

Yes. Basically, you can't. It'll run but it's nearly unplayable.

There is an unofficial version that runs well under classic:
So if you do that I'm assuming you can get it. However, as I said in that topic, it will not run on Intel Macs.

Hello-
Actually send David an email at help@AmbrosiaSW.com he will have a version of Ares that should be more playable under Classic.

That's the post I linked to, where I first heard about it. My question is, how well? Has anyone played that version?

So, let's see. I can't play Civ IV and I can't play Ares. That's a new game and an old game. I guess I'm stuck with stupid flash games from now on.
