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.

I always wondered if Carmageddon holds up, doesn't sound like it does super well! Have a good break, come back when it's fun!

I remember playing this, and redneck rampage when I was a 2edgy teenager!

Another great review. I hope you have a fulfilling rest!

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!

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!

Bugdom images work fine for me too

It was just me :(

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.

they knew exactly what they were doing when they made this!

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.
