Best games for mac 20183/7/2023 It's been over a decade since the last Advance Wars came out (2008's Days of Ruin for Nintendo DS). Wargroove is a pretty shameless rip-off of Advance Wars - and that's why I love it. The virtual currency paid by your (probably sinister) employers for helping keep Hypnospace safe from online miscreants doesn't hurt, either. Though its the garish Winamp skins and snaking mouse cursor trails which suck you in with a powerful vortex of nostalgia, it's understanding what makes this bizarre world tick that keeps you clicking away. This convincing simulation of an early 90s operating system has an intriguing premise - it's your job to police this alternative reality internet from rogue users posting problematic content, from the copyright infringement of cheesy cartoon characters to crawling through page indexes to find secret sites littered with harassment, literally stamping out offending articles as you go. I didn't realise how nostalgic I was for the early days of the internet - the auto-playing midi files, colourful bouncing GIFs and the heavily-compressed videos reminiscent of Microsoft Encarta - until I gave Hyperspace Outlaw a browse.
