OverClockWorked - MSX_POCKY's home of retro game coverage
Click the icons above to access my reviews of SEGA console and arcade games and retro Macintosh and Windows games.
I'm MSX and I love retro games. Collecting original consoles is my hobby and I'm fascinated by seeing how games evolve over decades of development. I created OverClockWorked to document some of my findings and thoughts on various computer games, console games and arcade games that I play, obscure or not. My main focus here is older Mac games, documenting games that may be difficult to get running on modern hardware, which is a shame as there's some real gems hidden there! Anything else I play that I'm interested in sharing my thoughts on can potentially show up here too, from SEGA console games to Windows classics. Additionally, I desired to make a site reminiscent of the many fan sites I browsed as a kid, something unique with a sense of the personality of the entity who put it together, something so commonly lost on social media sites. I hope you enjoy your stay here at this doll's page!
