Fairy Treasure Review
Fairy Treasure has it all—it is a breakout, action game, it has 120 levels, power-ups, magic, fairies and trolls. This Mac game is a good time no matter how you look at it.
Fairy treasure given to the good knights of Trollandia from the Fairy Queen upset the evil troll Dronk who raided the villages plundering food and precious items from the homes. He became bolder and invaded the castle for the fairy treasure. Knights and magicians were sought to recapture the royal
gems. This is where you come in and save the day. You travel along the Fairy River fighting hags, goblins and evil things. Your only assistance is from the river fairies.
The play is to move the bat at the bottom of the screen left and right hitting the stone up to walls, power-ups and extras in order to pass the level. If the ball should fall into the water you lose a life. By hitting the rock up to the bricks the level will be completed when all the bricks are gone. By hitting the bat’s right side will move the orb to the right and hitting the bat on the left will move it to the left.
There are many bonuses to garner in the meantime. The extra bat either left or right, extra bat, 3 balls, fast balls, slow balls, extra life, strong balls and fire balls are among the few of the extras you’ll need to complete a level. In addition, there are magic bottles: the blue one is magnetic, red one is wacky and fire is explosive. Mushroom spores makes the ball sticky and the brown mushrooms explode when hit.
On top of all those bonuses there are more good and bad extras. The magic scroll if you get 8 you can enter the bonus level. The chain ball can be unlocked by collecting 5 keys, and 
be sure to get all the gold coins because 100 will get you an extra life. Frogs can be good or bad so beware, and fairies can be good if you release them from their bubble.
If you can believe it, there are more extras to discover in this action-packed fun game. All these bonuses and the fairy theme remind me of the Mac game Pixie. However, the 2 games are completely different,
but both are fun to play. I enjoy playing this breakout arcade game with its flying bat breaking the brick walls. Moving the bat back and forth is reminiscent of the old time game Pong. The graphics are good, but I can’t remember the sound effects or music due to the engrossing play of Fairy Treasure.

Abracadabra! Review
Phelios the maker of Pixie, Doulber Gold, Kaijin and many more Mac games made Abracadabra a few years ago. We are reviewing this simple but popular game for all those who may have missed it the first time around.
Abracadabra is an action packed arcade platform puzzle game. You take the little wizard through a magical trip finding gold, potions, keys and evil creatures. The wizard with his enchanted wand uses it to make or break bricks and can help save his life. You do not want to see him die. You use the arrow keys to direct him through all the mazes with many obstacles to prevent him from proceeding to the next level. Find the key and exit through the door. The space bar will let you use his wand, and use the arrows with the wand to direct the appropriate action to the right object or creature.
It takes a little practice for non-gamers to get used to the key movements but can grasp the play very quickly just by doing. It is a great starter game for all who are new to Mac games or video games, because the tutorials (in many languages) will take you step by step through the play. However, the higher levels are quite challenging and entertaining enough for even the seasoned gamers.
This game is reminiscent of the very first 2D Mario games, and you know they are always entertaining to revisit and play again. Abracadabra is just a fun play when you do not want to think too hard. I say too hard because there are some mazes you have to strategize to exit the platform. An added bonus is the easygoing jazzy music and colorful scenes to enhance your mood to play. So meet the spellbinding challenge with Abracadabra and spend some time playing this old time Mac game.
Features of Abracadabra:
-115 Levels
-Fun Arcade, Action Puzzles
-Wizards and Mystical Creatures
-Tutorials in Many Languages

Peggle Nights Review
Peggle Nights is the second installment in the Peggle series, after the original Peggle Deluxe. Although not much has 
changed, the developers of Peggle have definitely done something right. This game is awesome and as much as it is luck, it takes a good amount of skill to complete this game. Peggle is at heart, a pachinko game but revolutionizes the genre. Instead of dropping the ball into the game, you shoot at your target and let the ball control the rest.
The goal of Peggle is to remove all the orange dots on the board. Once a pinball hits the peg, it disappears during the next turn. Once you hit the last orange peg (there is a cool Matrix-style bullet time) wherever the ball falls in the bonus, adds to your total. You can only complete the level if you get rid of all the orange before you run out of pinballs.
There are other colored pegs as well in Peggle. Green pegs have special powers, depending on who your character is. In the beginning, you start with an unicorn that has a special bounce vision that tells you where your ball will go after hitting the first peg. The next stage is a gopher who shoots a second ball out when you hit the green. There are about 10 
different characters, each with his or her own special bonus. There are also purple pegs. These are not quite as interesting but give you a boost in points (when you hit a certain amount each shot, you get a free ball). Finally, there is a bumper at the bottom of the screen. If your ball falls into the middle hole, you get a free ball.
This was one of the best MacGames that I have ever played. It was both fun and interesting, as the gameplay was simple, 
yet absorbing. I could not stop playing once I had begun and even though it was easy at first, it got much more challenging as the game progressed. I would absolutely give Peggle Nights five out of five stars.

Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds Review
There’s no stopping the little goo creature from eating everything in sight from the present day to the days when dinosaurs roamed the earth in Mac arcade game Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds. This is the sequel to the popular Tasty Planet that has been out for a number of years now, but is still enjoyed by casual gamers.
This time the scientist accidentally developed the grey goo. It can eat anything smaller than itself and should be contained and not fed. 
Unknowingly, his assistant felt sorry for the little guy because he looked hungry and gave him some candies. This is where the fun starts. The goo gobbles up all the colorful sweets and more.
The play is to move the blob towards the arrow with either your mouse or pad toward objects smaller than the goo before your time is up. Just stay away from bigger animals who may want to eat goo. You can play it untimed but what fun is that? In addition, stay away from the larger beings trying to gobble the goo. The top left corner will show you how big the goo is and how fast it is growing. When it is large 
enough, it will swallow the time machine the scientist is working on at the moment. This triggers the little guy into 6 different time periods: present day, late Cretaceous, Ancient Egypt, Ancient Rome, Feudal Japan and into the far distant future.
Keep eating away until the level ends and it will cap your total in a nice, neat summary of how many different objects the goo has eaten. There are candies, mice, dinosaurs, butterflies, bushes, bones, cats, mummies, gladiators and flying saucers. There are side puzzles like eat 110 eggs or figure out the maze of bones to complete a level. These mini games are good for breaking up the constant eating machine even though it is similar.
The music accompanying the crunches, meows, yelps of creatures being eaten is lively and reminiscent of a jazzy, country honky-tonk guitar and 60ish cool movie music. I may be wrong but that’s my take on the tunes. They are great at first but if you keep playing Tasty Planet for a long time, it does repeat a lot. In that case, just turn the sound off. The play is addictive but like the music can get repetitive. The differences in the play are very little. The goo can span from small to large in one level. When the goo is tiny, the surroundings are huge, but when it grows into a large goo, the picture will zoom out to encompass the larger objects like the dinosaurs. The dinos at this scene look like ants. The other new aspect of the sequel is that you can play with another person. You each will get your own goo. Take a look at the 
videos: Trailer and Co-op play. Even though the play is very similar to the first game, Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds is still an pleasant, exciting arcade game for all casual gamers. The cartoon strip will keep moving the story along and is quite amusing. A great break from hidden object or sim plays. I give it a 3.5 out of 5.
Features of Tasty Planet: Back for Seconds:
-6 Time Periods
-Bonus Modes
-Fast Action Arcade Play

Pop-A-Tronics Review
Pop-A-Tronics is a pop 3 or more combos of bubbles and fill the goal meter to complete the level Mac game. It is fast-paced and exciting with all the peripheral movements and lively music.
There are 4 modes of play in this game: Marathon, Puzzle, Lock-Out and Self Destruct. This pop 3 bubbles game is similar to others like Agua Bubble, but the difference in this game is that you can click to pop or inhale to move the bubbles with your Energy Needle not shoot at them from a stationary spot. This needle can move around the game board and when you wish to make a 3 or more match, you hover over the bubbles and click. To inhale you must either right click or control click to take in the bubble (only one at a time) and place it in another spot by control clicking again. To the right of the bubbles is the Goal Meter that tells you when you have reached your level and below it is the Combo Flask when full of orange goo will provide you with a Purifier. This device changes color every second and when you click on it, it will destroy all the bubbles of the current color. A Charge Bomb will explode in 4 seconds and when you continually click on it, it will give a more massive explosion. A Color Transmutational Device or CTD will hover and copy any bubbles near by to the same color and will create a huge combo explosion and garnering you a lot of points.
A block in this game is the locked bubbles created when you click on bubbles that cannot be matched. It will then change that bubble to a locked one. Also if you see a bubble shaking and quivering, it is ready to change into a locked one so you must try to use it in a match as soon as possible.
The Puzzle mode begins with a full screen of bubbles, and you must pop 3 or more bubbles of the same color until the board is cleared. In this mode the inhaler is inactive. In the Lock Out mode you must quickly match all the bubbles before they are locked out slowly from the bottom. The Self Destruct mode you can utilize only the inhaler. Each of the different modes is fun in its own way and formidable to complete.
All the modes have something of interest to the player and can be very challenging at times. With some practice and strategy, you should be able to play this game easily. I found this game difficult but still enjoyable. The funny squeaks and pops enforced the game play and made the game pleasurable. So if you like match games and want a different twist to the game, try Pop-A-Tronics, and pop yourself to bubble land and have some fun.
Features of Pop-A-Tronics:
-Power-Ups
-4 Modes of Play
-Great Sound Effects and Music
