SYHARRIS  Downloaded the English language patch(the game is in Japanese) and followed the directions to convert Cave Story into English, but just can't get the game to work; it opens but doesn't get past the title page.

The "read me" file remains in Japanese.

Clicked on "more information", above, which goes to

Miraigamer.net/cavestory, which seems to be the English lanuage version of the Cavestory website, but it's of no help whatsoever.

So, since the Cavestory download just sits on my desktop like a wet turd, unusable, I trashed it.

Nuff said.

DLWORMWOOD  I'm impressed that such an apparently obscure Japanese Windows freeware is now available on the Mac in English. A fun game with an excellent NES nostalgia factor despite being an original work. Does need a joypad rather than a keyboard to play effectively, the setting of which was a little fiddly, but works.

ANDREWA121  A wonderfully addictive game. It did something funky on me once, causing me to have to reinstall, but it's been golden ever since. Gameplay is nostalgic bliss.

One thing, though. Sometimes I want to listen to other things on my computer while I play, but I see no way to adjust the volume / turn off sound. Alas.

NAMAN  Possibly one of the best 2D platform games ever made. I even like it better than Super Metroid, hard as that may be to believe.

STAR-AFFINITY  The game is awesome!

It is stable if you've got a PPC Mac.

THEVALRUS  Ridiculously awesome game that quits randomly on Intel macs. Generally I can go for 10-15 minutes before something trips it up. :(

If it weren't for that, it would get 5 stars across the board. I'd love to be able to play this game all the way through but given its stability right now, that's not very practical.
