Toxic Ravine

Toxic Ravine (full title Orlando Poon's Toxic Ravine Clean-Up and Rescue Service) is a small action computer game created by Glenn Wichman. Version 1.1 was released in 1989 as shareware for the Macintosh. Version 2.0, adding color, came out the following year, in a shareware version and also a boxed version marketed by Pointware, Inc. The game is now abandonware, and neither version of it will run under Mac OS X.
Objective
The player controls a blimp from which he needs to drop bombs on toxic waste to get rid of it. Different types of debris react differently to being bombed. Patience is the key to get the highest score and to survive because one must not drop bombs too fast since that will likely kill the PANG clones that must be rescued (using a magnet-shaped robot that is deployed from the blimp). Also, one must not drop bombs on the floor, else toxic wraiths will escape from the canyon floor and damage your blimp.
After the toxic waste is cleaned up, the player moves on to the second and last challenge, which is to rescue more little guys escaping from the caves at the right and left of the screen. The player drops rocks and elevators to create a way for them to reach the top and also drops apples to feed them so that they have enough energy to continue their journey.
