100+ followers celebration time! For the special occasion, I'm having a look at the start of the Mac gaming scene, Through the Looking Glass from 1984 (also includes a face reveal if that gets your attention more): https://overclockworked.neocities.org/macos/alice/

Welcome back! Very interesting, and it actually sounded quite a good concept until you got to the real-timeness of it.

Oh hey, the site just broke 100+ followers, thanks so much to everyone who has humoured my weirdo doll ramblings about obscure Mac shareware! I'd do some kind of special review for the occasion, but I've already done Lemmings (my Mac favourite) and Marathon (the most important/historically significant Mac exclusive imo)... maybe I can come up with something else.

Fellow Parodius fan? Based. Also, strong agree with your callout on the Bad Webcomics Wiki, absolutely hate it. You're right on the mark with noting the anti-furry bias, iirc they outright have just said that furry comics should never take themselves seriously or have adult content in any way, thus furry comics with fanservice or dark subject matter are called bad for simply EXISTING.

I'm also a Sabrina Online fan so maybe I'm biased against the wiki in that way, but screw em anyway, ahaha. Anyway, I'm keen to check out your webcomics too!
New review is up, looking at the gratuitously violent """"racing game"""" Carmageddon on Mac: https://overclockworked.neocities.org/macos/carmageddon/

This might be the last update for a while. I've been spacing out bad lately and feeling excessively exhausted and I may have overworked myself a bit, so I think it's best I take a few to see if I recover. Sorry to leave on something so schlocky, but as always, I will be back when I feel the drive to write more! Car pun unintended.

I always wondered if Carmageddon holds up, doesn't sound like it does super well! Have a good break, come back when it's fun!

I remember playing this, and redneck rampage when I was a 2edgy teenager!

Long overdue, I finally played through and reviewed Marathon, the debut of Bungie's legendary FPS series and one of the Mac's greatest exclusives! https://overclockworked.neocities.org/macos/marathon/

I am kind of intimidated by shooters, but might download the newer port of this- your review did a lot to make it sound interesting!

@miela583 Hope you enjoy it if you do! If it makes things more approachable for you, there's multiple difficulty modes you can choose from in the options menu.

Sounds like a fantastic game, your review definitely gives me System Shock vibes. True determination to complete it without mouse, respect!

@p7uen Thank you! Fortunately over the last few years I've gotten way more comfy with keyboard controls in general (upgrading to a mechanical keyboard made things feel way better), so a lot of stuff I used to play with controllers like Tomb Raider I now exclusively play with the keyboard, and I was able to adapt to Marathon keyboard only by going into it with a similar mindset. Still, nothing beats mouselook!

I know this isn't super positive, but I used to have BC Racer on 3DO, and the tracks in this look so much niftier than what I remember of that game!

Caveperson is such a weird genre for games and especially kart racers, and yet there are more than one. So weird. (p.s. your Bugdom images are broken unless it's just me!)

@p7uen The Bugdom screenshots are still displaying on my end, I'm not sure what could be causing that, sorry!

New review is up, looking at Burning Monkey Solitaire on Mac OS 9 (and yes, it lives up to that bizarre title!) https://overclockworked.neocities.org/macos/bms/

I was going to ask why the monkeys were sexy, but it turned out you already covered that. Top-tier journalism over here

@skep This entire time I was worried that calling the monkeys hot was going to alienate my readers, so I am relieved that everyone both on Neocities and outside of Neocities has so far immediately agreed that the monkeys are hot.

I usually enjoy your reviews but have to hard disagree with your thesis here. Pink hair monkey is the sexiest monkey.

@p7uen I mean the pink-haired monkey is literally called Melon, it's like they WANT you to look at her chest with that kind of innuendo.

Man I don't remember much about Gish but I do remember the phenomenon you describe of being too sticky to get around corners and having to wiggle. Do you think people were more forgiving because we didn't know any better in terms of physics or it was a nice break from more rigid platformers of the time?

@p7uen I think so. Again, it IS genuinely impressive for 2004 indie game physics, it's just unfortunately not fun to play imo.
Minor housekeeping today. The game review index now lists what version of Mac OS I played any Mac game I reviewed on, and the reviews themselves now list what PowerPC Mac OS versions the game in question is compatible with.

Ok that looks fun, but I had no idea Super Monkey Ball was so crazy. I've only had the GameCube one and we only ever played the Super Monkey Flight minigame for literally thousands of hours, never touched single player.

But the real headline here is I never heard of Nanosaur or read your review and both are amazing. I feel like Nanosaur and El Fish plots have to be part of the same Games Cinematic Universe somehow. I am downloading it as I type!

@p7uen Completely justified, Monkey Flight is really just that addicting
Just caught up on your last two reviews. Creatures is another one that my GF and I have got on GOG and need to sink more time into. We're both into complex vpets that implement a-life, so it's up our alleys. Strong agree with the AI sentiments as well, and also absolutely agree that games in multiple windows you can rearrange are peak! Lord Monarch Online was one of the games that really sparked my love for that.

Small update today, adding some background to the living doll that writes these reviews, as well as his vampiric queen he keeps referencing in those very reviews.
