Marine Aquarium 3 for Mac OS, Tiger, Leopard and Snow Leopard, is very close to being available for your examination.

Apple decided to make the System Preferences panel prefer 64 bit panes, and the Saver engine to require 64 bit panes, as well as be garbage collection compatible, while also removing several APIs we have been using. This is not an unreasonable thing for them to do (some of the APIs have been around since 10.0), as maintaining backwards compatibility when the OS is moving forward so fast is a major pain in the neck, but it does create a problem for us. We can finish Marine Aquarium 3, which we had schedule commitments to do, or we can spend that time on Marine Aquarium 2.6 and break our commitments for Marine Aquarium 3. I thought most people would greatly prefer the much improved Marine Aquarium 3. Maybe I'm wrong. I hope you will be convinced I was right.
