Update

Wednesday, October 20th, 2004

I’ve been insanely busy for the past month or so, hence the lack of updates. Halloween is one of my favorite holidays; mainly because it celebrates everything that is strange and scary like aliens, vampires, and Jack Chick comics. So, since things don’t seem to be letting up, I thought I’d do one generic October update. In honor of the holiday I’ve reviewed my favorite ghost themed Commodore game Ghostbusters. I thought about doing Ghosts n’ Goblins, it being more appropriate for the season. But I soon decided against on account of the fact that it’s impossible for a normal human to get past level one. So you get Ghostbusters instead, which is a great game too.

Retro Game Review

Monday, August 30th, 2004

This time I take a look at the Classic Mac game Pararena 2, which is the commercial version of a shareware game of the same name. Pararena was created by John Calhoun, a legend in the Macintosh community, who is more well known for his classic game “Glider”. Pararena is one of his less popular games that I always felt never received its due.

Check out the review and judge for yourself.

Game Review

It’s time for another retro-game review. This time, I take a retro-active look at the Commodore classic Lazarian. Lazarian is among the first crop of Commodore games, and was one of my first video games. It’s simple and fun, and I still play it from time to time. Check out the review to hear more.
