@p7uen I've been playing Puyo Puyo for so long that until you pointed it out I genuinely forgot that the puyo look at each other or even in two opposite directions at once depending on what puyo are adjacent to them. Love that detail!

New review is up looking at Warcraft's superbly refined sequel, Warcraft II: Tides of Darkness Battle.net Edition https://overclockworked.neocities.org/macos/warcraftii/

It looks so gorgeous and seems pretty modern, unlike Warcraft I which I've just read your review of as I hadn't read it before. That was exactly a year ago, I look forward to the summer 2027 Warcraft III review!

@p7uen Don't get your hopes up, I've still got to review Diablo, Starcraft and Diablo II before I get to Warcraft III if I keep up with reviewing Blizzard's library in chronological order!

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.

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.

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!

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.
