Dude, your mention of ResEdit just gave me major flashbacks! I remember first using ResEdit to "hack" games like Escape Velocity so I could gain more resources, make my ships more powerful, and so on.

God I loved their games SO much. As a kid that was not allowed any consoles and only had a Mac IICX, Ambrosia games were a lifesaver!

No, you made my childhood! I was kind of a lonely kid and discovering computing (via the Mac) and getting these shareware discs and playing Ambrosia games was like finding something really magical. Thank you! And if anyone is reading this now, please make more games like Escape Velocity! (Or re-release them for modern systems!)
