New review out: 1999's Lander by Psygnosis. Spoiler: there is actually very little landing taking place in the game. https://p7uen.neocities.org/posts/2025-10-16-Lander

Any time I see a review for a game on a computer I haven't used myself, I always end up wanting that computer a lot more (vintage computers are my favourite retro gaming platforms), and you absolutely did that for me with the Archimedes with the Lander/Zarch reviews. V2000 also sounds delightfully playful with its mechanics and I'm interested in checking it out down the line!

Thank you I'm glad to have had an effect! There is a great and easy emulator called Arculator but yes, no subsitute for having a go on the old clunky hardware again.

Thanks for the follow I love your site, especially the click sound effects! Man I really must play Ratchet and Clank one day, it passed me by first time.

Thank you so much!! The effects are from bust a move 4 :D not to overhype it, but Ratchet and Clank definitely is a forgotten gem.

I love your site too!! I'm really not one to read reviews (usually I avoid them for things I plan to play lol) but I really enjoyed how super in-depth yours were! Looking forward to reading more :D

I have a soft spot for Psygnosis. Whether or not their games are actually good is a bit of a coin flip, but they're reliably interesting and unique and charming (and are responsible for publishing some of the most underappreciated games on the Mega Drive IMO). The mouse controls in Lander mimicking a joystick remind me of the optional mouse controls in Tomb Raider II on Mac, which behave similarly and are also awful!
