You can't go wrong with the purity of the original game, still an amazing game with nuanced handling. I'm still stripping milliseconds off.

Hints of the diving in Fiendish Freddy's Big Top o' Fun - loved that as a kid!

Happy to take some more photos but there’s probably a pdf out there somewhere! It’s a decent issue that has survived emigrating to Australia.. my DC collection unfortunately did not!

*cosy*!

There's a bit of Lemmings in there – and some difficult decisions built in - you might have to collapse a tunnel and sacrifice for the greater good.

Also toyed with a more relaxed play aspect – some time to make the burrow cost before it's time to grow again.

Like Burnout crash mode, but instead of using your car to cause the mayhem you simply place a banana peel. I like it!

...and while i was writing this i noticed you replied the same to another comment :)

Absolutely agree, and I really miss Webrings - connecting hobbyist and niche sites made the internet feel like a community.

When we got our first ISP in ~96 I discovered it had some web space. The idea of putting something on it was intoxicating. I’ve been working online ever since.

Totally understand, I’ve got almost nothing left to play in my pile of shame.. honest…!

That demo was the most I played MGS2, endless antics! Then I bought the retail release and, well, we all know how that played out!

thanks - apparently it takes us a long time to finish things, too! 😅

Cheers - started out with a dot pattern I printed out and stuck on a board.. and remained that way for about 4 years until I finally got back to it a few weeks ago!
