just discovered a treasure trove of *new* classic macintosh game reviews

neocities user @msxpocky posts their classic mac system 7/os x, windows xp, amiga and sega 8-bit game reviews. the writing is insightful, friendly, and fair.

exceptionally chosen games - some obscure, some popular - but always interesting and unique.

the review of The Fool's Errand includes some wonderful eclectic 1-bit artwork by Cliff Johnson:

A screenshot from a card minigame. It shows several cards, drawn in black and white, in the style of tarot cards. It is some kind of competitive card game. It reads "The fool wins 54 points. Council pair beats Magician."

A screenshot of a minigame running on a classic mac. It shows a board game of some kind, full of tiles drawn in black and white. It appears to be some kind of strategic game, on a geographical map. In behind is a scroll with text on it, unreadable.
