Thank you for your writing and for the fun collab this year. I can see now that I missed so many of your posts at the beginning of the year so I have some great lunch break reading to look forward to in 2026. Happy new year!

Updates may slow for a while. I ordered a RAM expansion for my Amiga for Christmas and I'm most likely going to want to wait until that arrives before I extensively play more Amiga stuff. My poor 600 is struggling with 2MB of RAM, which isn't really enough to run most HD installed games!

Top Tip: This Christmas, avoid the extortionately high RAM prices by buying RAM from 30 years ago!

@miela583 100% agreed. Thank you also for indirectly reminding me to add a link to the voice clip of the cat mocking you to the review.

@underwhite The NES Duck Hunt fandom have been starved for another game where a dog mocks you ever since the 80s

@underwhite Yes, really any animal! Like if a jellyfish personally attacked you when you took a hit, or an owl chucked an apple at your face. Dogs are classics, but we could be doing so much!

@overclockworked It's a whole extra layer that the cat is maybe named after one of Frank Zappa's kids??

Additionally, I have added a couple of links to two previous posts that a mutual linked me on Discord, both relevant to subjects covered on this site. First off is a beta source port of Realmz ( https://github.com/Realmz-Castle/realmz ) and secondly is an article about gaming history across the world in different regions ( https://felipepepe.medium.com/the-gentrification-of-video-game-history-dfe11f1e08ae )
Great stuff, I remember playing this a bit back in the day. Were the soft locks just a way of making the game 'harder' and extending the play time
