Well, I just finished Punishment 2, and I found it a bit surprising how easy it got after awhile.

Spelunky seems to have suddenly gotten awfully easy. Just now, I won a game for the third time in a row.

All three of those games involved the two instruments that, I conclude, make winning a near-certainty: jetpacks, and not stealing from the shop.

I'd try playing more Spelunky games outlaw-style, but really, the fuss of having to deal with the shopkeeper every single level is simply not worth it.

So I just played The Ur-Quan Masters from start to finish. Good lord, the Pkunk!

How such macho battle quotes as "Juffo-Wup fills me and I grow turgid" failed to enter the zeitgeist is beyond me.

I played Strange Adventures in Infinite Space, and am slightly intrigued at how it managed to crush the experience of playing Star Control II down into just 4 minutes, at the cost of reducing it to the facile mesmerism of Bejeweled.
