Okay, think I'm FINALLY happy with the site renovations. Blood shrine will also eventually be replaced with a shrine directory for both it and any other shrines I make in the future. I am going back to playing Mac games now.

My first gaming history timeline, I will add more for the franchises I focus on. Following games through the ages is what I find most interesting so now you can too!

your article on tomb raider rly "gets it:" magic is real, black fog, etc.
would be curious to see your reviews on other tr games like chronicles, 90's need for speed, or mech warriors (only bc i have a bit of skin in those games, heh) i'll be sticking around for whatever you review

Thank you so much, that means a lot! I will definitely do more TR games, Overclockworked just did a great TR2 review as well if you are interested: https://overclockworked.neocities.org/macos/trii/. You have a very cool site and I dig your animal/cryptid art in particular, if you don't mind me calling them that!

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

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!

What a nice review, as always! I never understood the springboard mechanic either: I just hoped for the best and jumped LOL

Finally fantastic and thoughtful review! The instakill bits got to me a bit you are much more patient than me. It's SUCH a 90 sequel. (Also in no way is my site more professional than yours!)

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.

I'm a little out of it tonight so apologies if the review needs some editing. Will give it another read over when I'm less tired ahaha. Small review of a small game to start out my return. Next review will be a big one I've been putting off far too long!

Great review, I have been on a weird-mouse-control-game bender recently so I looked up a video to see what you meant about the controls. Weird!

Also, you reminded me of shareware game Rats! in the 1990s which had an even more extreme female orgasm sound effect, which my parents were not amused by. What is it with these old devs?

@p7uen I've actually seen Rats! before myself, and yeah, the sound effect there REALLY goes overboard even compared to Crystal Quest and Apeiron. Something I've noticed when looking into classic Mac games is just how developers could get away with whatever they wanted in self-published shareware.

(addendum: I say it's "something I've noticed" as if I only found out recently, but in actuality I've known it for the past 23 years due to a time when I accidentally stumbled upon Barney Blaster as a kid and got horrified by the cute purple dinosaur being gorily torn to shreds on the title screen)

We just got over 100k views, thank you so much! Even if that's small compared to heavy hitting Youtube channels and the like, I'm honestly so happy I can share my nerdy passions with this many people. This is honestly more attention than I expected such a niche site would get! New Mac review is also in the works now, expect more updates in the coming days!

If the navbar looks broken in the Blood Shrine, that's because I had to update the css file for it and that takes time to refresh if the old css file is still in your cache.
