Added review for Silksong. I have been having an absolute blast playing this. Difficulty is just right with lot's of double damage to make up for how much easier it is to heal and keep distance from enemies. The music and visuals are amazing of course. However.. so far there have been no frogs. No frogs and no Zote.. Come on Team Cherry throw me a bone!

It's my 29th birthday! While I fight off the usual existential crisis of growing older, I'll again thank everyone who has followed over the last couple of years I've been working on this website for. In addition, relevant to the website, for my birthday I'm getting a G4 Mac Mini! It's three times as powerful as my current G4 Cube, so this will allow for reviews of more recent and more graphically demanding Mac games.

There's a bunch of weird and interesting early Mac OS X games that I've been interested in covering but didn't have the specs for until now. Did you know for instance that the first Unity game ever made was a Mac exclusive? More weird vintage Mac trivia inbound when I start reviews up again.

Added review for Stonks 9800. I'll be honest I have been too busy playing Mario Kart, Donkey Kong, and Minecraft lately to play anything on Steam. I was watching Game Grumps play this while making dinner and they caught a frog while fishing.. I did not expect this game to have frogs. I decided I must leave a review. So thank you to Arin and Danny for playing this game that was completely off my radar.

And with that, I'm now going on hiatus. Had some bad writers block with this review in spite of having a great time with the game. I'm also tired, so apologies if I left in a bunch of errors I didn't notice. Will likely return to review more Mac games in a month or two, once my mental health hopefully settles down and once the next batch of Mac games I ordered online arrive in the mail. Thanks for reading, everyone!

I saw this on the global feed and even though I've never heard of Unreal before, this was such an interesting read! I'm not experienced with this whole genre of gaming, but I thought that your writing style made it seem really familiar! Unreal looks like such a cool game!

Thank you very much for reading! Always happy when I can shed some light on games others may not be familiar with like that.

I've played 100+ hrs of UT99 online but I don't think I've ever touched the campaign mode of it or the previous version so this was my first experience with it. Good review and has convinced me to start a playthrough!

@the-game-hoard Hope you enjoy it! Unreal Tournament 99 is a future review I intend to get to as well, as I like what little I've played of it a lot.

Sorry guys, I have no energy left to do a frog review. Between being in a car accident and Mastercard threatening my ability to sell my game I just need a break. I made a big post about how Mastercards decision is impacting my game and other devs on itch - https://studiopeaches.itch.io/tri-city-monsters/devlog/992998/regarding-steam-adult-content-bans-and-making-an-18-game

Very soon after making the post Itch de-indexed all adult games and is updating their policies. The future is uncertain. Hopefully there will still be a place for frog based reviews.

Further update: I'm planning for two more Mac reviews before taking a hiatus for a bit, both of which are games I've already beaten and gotten screenshots of, so just a matter of writing the reviews and editing the html. I think I need to get out of work mode for a bit and just play some games solely for fun as opposed to fretting about review content and deadlines and such.

When using Mac OS 9, I kinda go off the grid. My main Linux desktop computer is turned off and I plug the mouse, keyboard and speakers into the Mac and use the same monitor I use for modern computing. This is the most comfortable way to play for me, but it also is kind of isolating, feeling stuck in the year 2000 without access to things like Discord or actually usable web browsers

overclockworked 1 month ago

I enjoy doing it, but it's also maybe a bit unhealthy to do for long extended periods of time like this, to the extent that all of my gaming time period is poured into Mac OS 9 when I'm focused on keeping up a review schedule. I definitely intend to return later and do more Mac reviews (still so many more I want to cover!) but need a break for now.

Anyway to close this off, thanks to everyone who has followed over the last few weeks and has been interested in my site and reviews. It means a ton to me and makes me really happy that covering such a niche subject matter as retro Mac games can still generate some interest, even among those who are unfamiliar with classic Macs.

My mental health is absolutely destroying me currently, so I might not be able to get a review out this week. Not sure when I'll be able to resume, sorry.
