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)

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!

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?

My Thrust II review, alternate title: 'How Margaret Thatcher, the national British Telecom company and "a complete nobhead" joined forces to create one of the worst sequels in gaming history.'

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.

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

After Gravitar came Thrust, absolutely brilliant game. More gifs and a link to play it online in your browser as well, which you should!
I never managed to get into Yakuza but I love your recreation of the in-game site. That sort of thing is my jam, look forward to more posts!

A look back at Gravitar and Atari's attempt to remake it in 2022. I feel like that guy that climbed that mountain hundreds of times just because it was there, but with old gravity based videogames (a lot harder than climning a mountain).

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.
Added review of R.E.P.O. I was playing it with friends last night because it was free on steam. A frog killed me, so I bought the game.

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
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!
