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.
Well done for hanging on to all your old games. Mine suffered the common fate of the parental clean out.

My latest hyperfixation is El Fish: A story of the most popular game in the world, the fall of the USSR, a murder-suicide, a conspiracy and a very good digital fish tank.

The fish need to be put on trial for their crimes against dinosaurs clearly. We have crime scene witnesses in New Zealand that could help, thanks to us having tuataras, the closest thing we have to surviving dinosaurs!

Updated with link to a massive FAQ and guide I wrote because I'm the only person on the internet sad enough.

You got to like your own too! (I have to be guilty of at least the nostlagia part of your lesson 1, but it is hilarious)

Hello friend, your big box collection feels like a warm hug already. Literally 3 of the best and my favourite games. Can't wait to see more. I have only a few big boxes left after many house moves, sadly.

Thankyou! I really appreciate that. I'm hoping adding them one by one will motivate me to continue filling the gaps i've been meaning to fille for a few years now. I too used to have a big collection of games and had to give them up after moving countries a few times. I started collecting them again about ten years ago- but have had to slow down due to the cost.

Exactly the same! Everything on eBay is so expensive now even the most rubbish or most popular of games.

Yes, it went from being a fun hobby where you could pick up an old DOS game for 20-30 dollars australian that someone else didn't want- to being a collector driven market where people are trying to flog bargain bin relreleases of "rare" games in terrible condition for 50-100 dollars plus postage.

New review: Creatures! AI related screed at the beginning of this article which I think pays off, but included a link to skip it if you have had enough of AI slop related stuff this week.
Hi internet friend, love your minis, do you paint them yourself? I would love to do this but I have no skill in painting.

Yeah I paint the minis myself. You don't need great skills to start painting, the good thing about paints is that if you make a mistake you can always paint over :).
