A first for NeoCities: an article talking about wolf sub/dom relationships that is not about furries! (furries and everyone are still welcome though). New review of Wolf, amazingly gorgeous and detailed 1994 animal simulation made in conjunction with a wolf sanctuary and featuring real wolves. I also made 96 gifs of it. I have a problem.

LARGE DOGS. I do love the concept of games based on simulating the life of an animal, ala SimAnt or Tokyo Jungle. It's a fascinating perspective on sides of the world that we don't otherwise experience first-hand. There's a lot of untapped potential there.

@pirahxcx Thank you, fixed! Yes old 2D pixel art is so cosy.

awesome post and those gifs are a treasure!

I want to post my latest review but I can't stop making new gifs for it. It's a sickness.

love your gifs, I hope one day you review some my favorite games just so I can get some gifs from them hehe (not telling the games though, I don't want to interfere in your process)

Another core-memory game that I can tick off the list. Also the hardest game I've completed for this site, I kind of love it and I will never play it again..

There is something so specifically 'Euro computer game' about games with a character that is probably meant to look cute and instead just looks extremely off-putting, see also Nicky Boom. In terms of gameplay I get some Creatures 2: Torture Trouble (C64, unrelated to a-life Creatures) vibes, which is also a brutally hard single screen platformer with puzzle elements that was still hard even with infinite lives cheats

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.

They just don't write backstories like they did in the 80s and 90s

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!

@Skep: Molyneux just admitted they were all high at Lionhead so I assume Maxis dropped acid as they came through the door in the mornings (I worked at Lionhead for a bit and I wasn't offered any).

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