your article on tomb raider rly "gets it:" magic is real, black fog, etc.
would be curious to see your reviews on other tr games like chronicles, 90's need for speed, or mech warriors (only bc i have a bit of skin in those games, heh) i'll be sticking around for whatever you review

New review out: 1999's Lander by Psygnosis. Spoiler: there is actually very little landing taking place in the game. https://p7uen.neocities.org/posts/2025-10-16-Lander

I have a soft spot for Psygnosis. Whether or not their games are actually good is a bit of a coin flip, but they're reliably interesting and unique and charming (and are responsible for publishing some of the most underappreciated games on the Mega Drive IMO). The mouse controls in Lander mimicking a joystick remind me of the optional mouse controls in Tomb Raider II on Mac, which behave similarly and are also awful!

Any time I see a review for a game on a computer I haven't used myself, I always end up wanting that computer a lot more (vintage computers are my favourite retro gaming platforms), and you absolutely did that for me with the Archimedes with the Lander/Zarch reviews. V2000 also sounds delightfully playful with its mechanics and I'm interested in checking it out down the line!

Thank you I'm glad to have had an effect! There is a great and easy emulator called Arculator but yes, no subsitute for having a go on the old clunky hardware again.

Thank you so much, that means a lot! I will definitely do more TR games, Overclockworked just did a great TR2 review as well if you are interested: https://overclockworked.neocities.org/macos/trii/. You have a very cool site and I dig your animal/cryptid art in particular, if you don't mind me calling them that!
