Disclaimer: Reviews of Amiga games may take longer than reviews of games on other platforms because the games on average are WAY harder on Amiga then any other platform I cover here. I say this as someone who has been playing Blood Money for two days and still can't make it further than halfway through level 1.

Shout outs to anyone who notices the stupid easter egg I included in this review

Woah, as an American dingbat, I thought Lucozade had been made up for a Hong Kong movie called Bio Zombie, and everyone who mentioned it also really liked Bio Zombie. I am now wiser and sadder.

@miela583 I absolutely thought Lucozade was made up for Superfrog at first as well, so I feel you

Lucozade is delicious and something you would get as a child when you were sick/hungover/had diarrhea. To the point where they now have to put on the label that it's specifically not suitable for drinking when you have diarrhea. This fact of the day was brought to you by: diarrhea.

Thinking I would like to possibly start doing some Amiga reviews. I've only got an Amiga 600 which limits my game options but the Amiga library is nonetheless something I've wanted to dig further into for a while now

It has been six hours since I first saw this message and I still have no idea how to answer it. I don't even know if living dolls can eat kelp. My girlfriend says to try searching the hadal zone. Good luck in your endeavours!

UPDATE: Found the Kelp Shop, but now I am a wizard and contain the banishing power of a thousand suns

Lemmings is one of those games I would always quit really early because I was so bad at that style of game. But I really enjoyed your review anyway, makes me want to try give it another try.

This review has resurfaced the trauma of trying to use those fiddly builders that I've been suppressing for 25 years.

i had Lemmings on the Master System as a kid, but it was too hard for me. Now that I love puzzle games I really should give it another try one day

The Master System version is actually not bad given the hardware (as long as you have the pause button easily reachable to press at a second's notice), it's not one of my first choices but it's a neat version with some original content even

Great writeup, the sounds and amazing animations are burned in my brain. That hi-res bug you mentioned is crazy! I had DOS version and Tribes on the SNES but you've made me need to break out Christmas Lemmings!

I highly recommend reading the manual for Blood Money on Amiga in place of a review of that game that will likely never happen due to me being so awful at it. The manual is REALLY funny. Like, funny enough to make me want to keep trying in spite of how hard it is.
