"Toxic Ravine" (full title "Orlando Poon's Toxic Ravine Clean-Up and Rescue Service") is a small action computer game where one needs a lot of patience to successfully complete the two different levels to get the highest score possible. 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, thus can be downloaded free on the internet today, though neither version will run under Mac OS X.

For anyone who played this game before, they can all remember the unique sound of the game of all the little guys (called "PANG clones") yelling repeatedly 'I'm hungry!'.

The game was inspired by the 1977 Atari coin-op video game Canyon Bomber.Fact|date=March 2008

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.
