- Very casual mac gamer here, and wondering if there's some sort of emulator or bootcamp equivalent that would allow me to run Deimos Rising from Ambrosia Software on my Macbook Pro. I really love this game, mad nostalgia for it - the only problem is that the software is only compatible with up to OS X 10.6.

Deimos Rising is a computer game by Ambrosia Software, similar to many top-scrolling arcade shooters. The sequel to Mars Rising, it is available on Apple Macintosh and Windows platforms. It is similar to the scrolling arcade shooter, Xevious. The player commands a fighter-bomber airplane known as a VacFighter through twelve progressively more difficult levels.
