Casually changing contact damage for an entire game seems like a crazy decision to make.

@p7uen Yeah, that summarises why Master System Shinobi feels so odd to me. Level design and enemy design clearly tailored for mechanics that this version of the game doesn't have feels... odd.

I would hazard a guess that the rice paddies were removed because they were too unfamiliar for western audiences, especially in those days.

Found you through the Willy Wombat page. Looking at the rest of your site, looks like we share quite a few gaming favourites too! (Klonoa, Sonic, Treasure, etc) Your collections are really impressive

I only just realised that the screenshots I took for Toejam & Earl and Wonder Boy in Monster World through OBS had the video source resolution incorrectly set to 720x576 INSTEAD of the correct 640x480 and that's why the screenshots for those two reviews are so garbage and low quality, because they're badly scaled up to 576p by OBS and scaled back down to 480p, I am so sorry and so mad at myself jhgfkjhgkhjgfuj

Next time I play through both of those games on my own time I'll grab new screenshots to replace the crappy ones (but the gifs will remain untouched)

This game sounds great and your review is hilarious. The whole section and screenshot about pants really got me, made my day!

50 hours of playing Metal Slug. Quite possibly just as much time researching, writing and editing the shrine, if not more. 29 A4 pages of analysis in LibreOffice documents. The Metal Slug Shrine is finally up! https://overclockworked.neocities.org/mslug/

As a result of the size of this update, there may be errors throughout that I missed, as well as things that generally could just use a visual touch-up. Either way, I'm happy to finally be able to share this!

Overclockworked now has a mirror! Kindly hosted by my friends at the Cleft of Dimensions MUD. Aside from simply being a backup, it's my intention to eventually get this mirror of the site Classilla/Mac OS 9 compatible, though it's not QUITE working 100% on OS 9 just yet. For everyone using modern web browsers though, no issues! https://overclockworked.cleftofdimensions.net

To further clarify, the Neocities version of the site will continue to be updated alongside the Cleft version, and I'll remain active on this site and on these activity feeds.

Working on something big for the site! It'll be a while before it's ready, but my next shrine is well underway for an arcade game I've been dedicating myself to practising for the past few weeks; Metal Slug 1. I hope to provide similarly obsessive attention to detail as I have with the Blood shrine with this!

I started playing Metal Slug as a way to unwind on hiatus (because I'm a freak and practising 1CC runs of really hard arcade games is how I relax) and then it turned into the next project for the site ahaha. Still, a change of pace!

Thanks for the follow! Just read your review on Golf Story partially because the intro resonates with me (Mini Golf is SO much more interesting and less of an ecological nightmare) though I have also guiltily enjoyed a few golf games myself despite thinking the sport irl is blegh. Everybody's Golf on PSP was my main one, ahaha. Really enjoyed your review!

Creative burn-out is kicking in, so I think it's time to take a hiatus for a bit and unwind. Thanks for reading all, will be back when inspiration hits again!
