About Ares
Ares is a sci-fi real-time strategy action game developed by Nathan Lamont from Bigger Planet Software and published by Changeling Software in 1998 for Mac OS 9. Nathan didn't earn any profit from the sales of the game, due to Changeling's poor marketing. Changeling Software became defunct later that year, so Nathan modified Ares and re-released it as shareware by Ambrosia Software in 1999. Thanks to Ambrosia's marketing efforts, the game became successful and reached its peak in the late 1990s. In 2008, Nathan Lamont released the original source code to Ares under the GNU GPL 2.0, and most of the media under the CC Attribution-Noncommercial-Share Alike license.
