Playing Crab Attack - a classic Macintosh game I wrote 33 years ago.
Back in 1989, while in high school, my brother and I created a game for the Macintosh called "Crab Attack II". My brother did much of the pixel art work, and I wrote the code for the game. We uploaded it onto a few local BBSs and then pretty much forgot about it.
Years later, out of idle curiosity, I decide to search online for the game at various archive sites, expecting to find that it's been lost forever. Instead, I find that it's been archived at multiple classic software sites and is generally well regarded. And it can still be played on an emulator today.
Join me for a bit of nostalgia as I learn that the game my brother and I made as teenagers is a lot more complex and difficult than I remembered.

    This match proves just how ineffective Blendo was. The only reason the bot won so much and eventually had to be disabled and given the honorary 1st place is because he essentially took a gas-powered(?) engine which humanity has spent the past century crafting to absolute perfection and shoving it into a bot that is able to convert it in as little weight as possible. Meanwhile others had to do some janky arm lifting shenanigans or other stuff get a combat bot going.
