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

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.

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.

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)

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)
Thank you I appreciate that! You have made so many buttons for the community I'd happily take some gif requests if I'm able!
