New review is up, looking at Burning Monkey Solitaire on Mac OS 9 (and yes, it lives up to that bizarre title!) https://overclockworked.neocities.org/macos/bms/

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.

Man I don't remember much about Gish but I do remember the phenomenon you describe of being too sticky to get around corners and having to wiggle. Do you think people were more forgiving because we didn't know any better in terms of physics or it was a nice break from more rigid platformers of the time?

@p7uen I think so. Again, it IS genuinely impressive for 2004 indie game physics, it's just unfortunately not fun to play imo.

Minor housekeeping today. The game review index now lists what version of Mac OS I played any Mac game I reviewed on, and the reviews themselves now list what PowerPC Mac OS versions the game in question is compatible with.

Ok that looks fun, but I had no idea Super Monkey Ball was so crazy. I've only had the GameCube one and we only ever played the Super Monkey Flight minigame for literally thousands of hours, never touched single player.

But the real headline here is I never heard of Nanosaur or read your review and both are amazing. I feel like Nanosaur and El Fish plots have to be part of the same Games Cinematic Universe somehow. I am downloading it as I type!

@p7uen Completely justified, Monkey Flight is really just that addicting
Just caught up on your last two reviews. Creatures is another one that my GF and I have got on GOG and need to sink more time into. We're both into complex vpets that implement a-life, so it's up our alleys. Strong agree with the AI sentiments as well, and also absolutely agree that games in multiple windows you can rearrange are peak! Lord Monarch Online was one of the games that really sparked my love for that.

Only just released that the site update link on the front page still linked to Revenge of Shinobi instead of Marble Blast, oops. Fixed now.

This might be the last update for a while as burn-out is kicking in again. The problem with reviewing Mega Drive games is that they often take just a couple of hours to play through and then I spent an entire day or two writing and coding the review page which gets exhausting fast ahaha. See you all when inspiration next hits!

@cartridgeconfidential I'm intending to play through the entire series for Overclockworked up to Shinobi X and I'm really excited to get to that one. The cutscenes are so fun, I don't even consider them "so bad they're good", they're just fun.

Also yes, playing the entire series up to Shinobi X also includes the weird Master System exclusive titles, Alex Kidd in Shinobi World, the Game Gear Shinobi games, and hell, probably also the Amiga conversions. Ninjas are cool, they're worth it.

I feel like I know so much about Joe Mushashi now. Also unsolicitied advice: I had a go with some of your gifs and if you're willing to sacrifice a little quality, the easiest reduction was to half the size on ezgif and then optimise (use the default setting but bump it up to 50) and they go from 6mb to 1mb. Then we can enjoy 6x more of your gifs!

@p7uen If I can have the gifs be 50% size but then get scaled up by the html code on the website, that would likely work! I'll have to try it out later

My site is currently 583MB and the very likely reality that I'm going to run out of storage space soon unless I stop using excessive gifs of gameplay footage in my reviews is killing me hfhdghfjhkj

Don't stop the signal! I use https://ezgif.com/video-to-gif as a really quick and dirty way to resize and reduce quality and file size.

Host your images somewhere else. I've been sing imgbb. Back in the day anytime I ran out of space on geocities I would just register a new account. Alternatively I think you could get away with using archive.org to host images for free. I use archive.org to host a ton of mp3 files for my purposes.

If you want an offline option for GIF optimisation (might be hard to do since it's footage), I recommend gifsicle. For editing the video before turning it into a GIF (like reducing the frame rate or something else) ffmpeg can do that (also offline). Also as jerryscoolpage mentioned, you can host videos on another platform and link to them (YouTube, PeerTube, somewhere else)

Thanks for suggestions everyone! I'm hesitant to host elsewhere since I don't want to run into issues if the image hosting platform goes down or changes hotlinking policies, but I'lll see what options are available if it comes to that. I actually use ezgif already @p7uen!

I don't know how this happened but I always thought I knew what Cave Story was, it turns out I was thinking of a game called Knytt this whole time. Great review!

Knytt is very much of that same era of freeware indies, so makes sense! It's something I need to play through myself some time.

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.

this review makes my unga go bunga!
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!
