SGDQ was fun and I'm not sick anymore. I added a review for To The Moon. I last played it years before I started curating frog based steam games and do not remember a frog being in the game. If I am wrong please let me know. We want these reviews to be objective, impartial, factual, correct, ect.. I'm faliable so I need your support :)

Thank you! Read your page on Shining in the Darkness. I definitely consider the dungeon itself the highlight of that game and also drew my own maps. I think enjoyment of that game is entirely up to how much mapping things out is fun to you vs it being a chore ahaha

This week's review is up, looking at classic 4X strategy game Civilization on Mac: https://overclockworked.neocities.org/macos/civ/

Great stuff, Civ II was my entry point but it seems like its all present and correct here. I'm a big supporter of playing at easier difficulties, the goal is to have fun (and now we're grown-ups we don't have the time!). Also, Egyptian Spaceship.

This week's review is up, looking at the survival strategy game Ocean Bound on Mac: https://overclockworked.neocities.org/macos/ocean/

Great review thank you! I think my younger self would have loved this back in the day, until the point you mentioned it goes from strategy into puzzle. I always get disappointed when that happens, not that I don't love a puzzle game but it feels like a different itch to scratch.

I think the puzzle direction the game later goes into was somewhat inevitable due to it being the only way to really increase challenge with the static unevolving simple mechanics for 60 levels. I enjoy puzzley strategy games (Disgaea 1 springs to mind), but I also very much love more open ended strategy games like 4X and sim games, so I get the disappointment ahaha. Glad you enjoyed the review!

Update: I am intending to resume my original schedule of weekly Mac reviews for the immediate future! I'll upload a new review every Friday (NZ time) until further notice. I've got the next review finished already and two more reviews are nearly done, so I'll be able to at least keep this up for a month at this pace.

Added review for Spiritfarer. Atul is one of the greatest frogs of all time. Play this game if you want to cry.

New review of Pipe Dream on Mac is here: https://overclockworked.neocities.org/macsimumarchives/pipedream/

Pipe Dream on Windows 95 is the version i'm most familiar with. It had bright green flooz instead of pink.

@pixelglade It's slightly odd that the flooz isn't green in the Mac version tbh, though I'm not as familiar with how the 4 color mode palettes work on Mac OS Classic. Had to catch myself instinctively typing "green flooz" into the review because I kept forgetting it was pink in the Mac version after looking at other ports to compare!

pixelglade 2 months ago

There were so many knockoffs of Pipe Dream I think many were trying to distinguish themselves from the original by changing the colours. Also in the process of looking up the colour palette for classic mac os I learned about old monitors using RGB565 colours which is absolutely fascinating.

Added review for Journey. It is a stunningly beautiful game with the best narrative use of multiplayer I have ever experienced. No Frogs.. Get it together game developers!
