Disclaimer: Reviews of Amiga games may take longer than reviews of games on other platforms because the games on average are WAY harder on Amiga then any other platform I cover here. I say this as someone who has been playing Blood Money for two days and still can't make it further than halfway through level 1.

I highly recommend reading the manual for Blood Money on Amiga in place of a review of that game that will likely never happen due to me being so awful at it. The manual is REALLY funny. Like, funny enough to make me want to keep trying in spite of how hard it is.

Shout outs to anyone who notices the stupid easter egg I included in this review

miela583's avatar miela583 4 months ago

Woah, as an American dingbat, I thought Lucozade had been made up for a Hong Kong movie called Bio Zombie, and everyone who mentioned it also really liked Bio Zombie. I am now wiser and sadder.

@miela583 I absolutely thought Lucozade was made up for Superfrog at first as well, so I feel you

Lucozade is delicious and something you would get as a child when you were sick/hungover/had diarrhea. To the point where they now have to put on the label that it's specifically not suitable for drinking when you have diarrhea. This fact of the day was brought to you by: diarrhea.

Thinking I would like to possibly start doing some Amiga reviews. I've only got an Amiga 600 which limits my game options but the Amiga library is nonetheless something I've wanted to dig further into for a while now

can someone help me find the kelp shop??
overclockworked's avatar overclockworked 4 months ago

It has been six hours since I first saw this message and I still have no idea how to answer it. I don't even know if living dolls can eat kelp. My girlfriend says to try searching the hadal zone. Good luck in your endeavours!

Lemmings is one of those games I would always quit really early because I was so bad at that style of game. But I really enjoyed your review anyway, makes me want to try give it another try.

This review has resurfaced the trauma of trying to use those fiddly builders that I've been suppressing for 25 years.

i had Lemmings on the Master System as a kid, but it was too hard for me. Now that I love puzzle games I really should give it another try one day

overclockworked's avatar overclockworked 4 months ago

The Master System version is actually not bad given the hardware (as long as you have the pause button easily reachable to press at a second's notice), it's not one of my first choices but it's a neat version with some original content even

Great writeup, the sounds and amazing animations are burned in my brain. That hi-res bug you mentioned is crazy! I had DOS version and Tribes on the SNES but you've made me need to break out Christmas Lemmings!

Been catching up on your gravity shooter reviews, and I assure you this wasn't intended, but I still find it funny that we both reviewed mouse controlled arcade style games around the same time and then went on to review Asteroid descendants at around the same time as well. I was actually unfamiliar with Gravitar until your review, and then it ended up coming up when I was looking up Asteroids history too!

Also, the link to play Thrust gives me a 403 forbidden error. Is this a region lock or IP issue? The entire BBC Micro site seems inaccessible to me, so I might just be unlucky.

Also was meaning to ask if you're familiar with Pixeljunk Shooter? I remember playing it back on PS3 and I recall it shared a lot of elements with the gravity shooter genre (physics, tractor beam, etc)

p7uen's avatar p7uen 4 months ago

I have seen Pixeljunk Shooter but never played it, I had a PS3 but it was only used for wanting to play a game, updating the OS, updating the game, then realising I ran out of time to play and then doing it all again a few weeks later haha

There's another gravity game called Oids I've never heard of before that I fancy doing soon and there are some Mac versions. If you want to/are able to get hold of it we could do a dual-neocities-retro-review-collabaganza!

1 like
overclockworked's avatar overclockworked 4 months ago

I really like this idea! There's a shareware version of Oids that's compatible with OS 9 that I can easily get my hands on. If there's specifics on how you'd want to collab feel free to email me (msxradpage@gmail.com), otherwise we can just both review it around the same time ahaha

So, right before my last hiatus, I actually played through and reviewed the colour remake of Dark Castle on Mac, but forgot to actually upload it until now. So, here's the "new" Dark Castle review, freshly uploaded! https://overclockworked.neocities.org/macos/darkcastle/

I have just reviewed Gravitar and Thrust, both of which use the same shield mechanic which I think is great. I had no idea that came from Asteroids Deluxe! Sadly neither game has female orgasming sound effects so do they even count as games?

This sounds well ahead of its time, lovely review thank you! Also, look at those lovely fonts. They don't make them like they used to.

overclockworked's avatar overclockworked 5 months ago

Fun fact: The main font used in Realmz actually comes from an earlier 1989 Mac CRPG by the name of Theldrow. I know this because unlike the Pinball Dreams music, they actually got permission to use this font and credited the original creator ahaha

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.

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.
