L'entreprise a été incorporée le 18 août 1993 par Welch après qu'il a obtenu son diplôme de l'Institut de technologie de Rochester en 1992. Le premier jeu produit par Ambrosia était Maelstrom, une reprise de 1992 du jeu d'arcade Asteroids de 1979. Maelstrom a remporté un certain nombre de prix. Ce succès a amené Ambrosia à créer plusieurs jeux de style arcade, comme Apeiron (une reprise de Centipede), Swoop (un clone de Galaxian) et Barrack (un clone de JezzBall). En 1999, Cameron Crotty de Macworld a écrit « aucune autre compagnie n'a jamais autant rénové les jeux d'arcade des années 1980 ». La société a également créé le jeu vidéo Mars Rising en 1998 et a développé une suite, Deimos Rising. Au moins la moitié des dix employés de l'entreprise ont été licenciés en 2013, mais Welch a nié les rumeurs de la fermeture de l'entreprise. * Portail des entreprises * Portail du logiciel * Portail du jeu vidéo * Portail de New York (fr)
