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.

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 :(
