Maelstrom
Maelstrom 3.0 is a GPL'd port of the original shareware game for the Macintosh. It is a fast-action, high resolution (640x480) asteroids-like game, with detailed graphics and original sounds. Our Review: An asteroids clone that features a few extras such as fighter shielding. Maelstrom is the BeOS version of the original Mac game. It comes with extensive documentation and a decent graphical interface. Unfortunately the gameplay suffers a little - the fighter's engine doesn't respond fast enough to the key presses, making maneuvering a little tricky. This is an arguable point though, and the rest of the game seems solid.
