Nacah is one of the last games that I played with a close friend raised by cluelessly, obnoxiously evangelical parents before I relocated to another state. It's admittedly substantial and clever in its endorsement of exegesis. His bitch mom gradually minimized our purview of shared games over a decade, and eventually only let him play Christian games and flight simulators.
I never finished Addie, but I thought it was sweet, charming, intriguing, and now very nostalgic. When you're sick of Aquazone, opt for the superior, fully scalable ASCIIQuarium: https://robobunny.com/projects/asciiquarium/html/
Ghosts is basically every cheesy televised special about paranormal phenomena hosted by Lee/McDowell/Nimoy/et al. as a video game: lame, Boomerish, ultimately loveable. Yow, your gamelog is equal parts commendation archive and nostalgia trip.
You're probably not an Xer, so the edgycool demeanor so popular in the '90s may seem abnormal and asinine because it is. As often as not, its enactment entails being a prick to everyone and bitching about corporations while shilling a corporate product. I scoffed through Y2K circa 2002 and of course I hate everything about it, but that inexplicably rendered lime green sofa is as indelible as anything I've ever seen.
Hey thanks a lot!! Yeah I probably spend too much time playing games lol. I also really like your site and your art, you perfectly manage to capture the 90s OVA feeling!!
Ice Climber is one of many games that I still enjoy biannually or triannually; I agree that it's not especially good, but its niched appeal endures. When I first played it in the mid-aughts, I assumed that Legend of Lotus Spring might be prettily tedious, but it really is nice and a bit more profound than I'd expected.
