It's the sunglasses: The leather jacket; The gold chain. This isn't just some cute baby - it's a cute baby with attitude.

I wanted to do a RetroAhoy-like format that could work for less well known games. The trouble with RetroAhoy is it's quite comprehensive, which often means long runtimes and a rigid chronological structure. I thought I'd try a lighter, more freeform approach - focusing on the interesting aspects of a game rather than trying to cover all of them.

And so here's Brat. The structure's a little loose, but there's a nice story in there somewhere.

This format is perfectly fine. Not every game deserves a proper Ahoy coverage but still worth looking into.

Just today I was thinking about the last segment for the Molyneux documentary and suddenly this dropped. I love to be blindsided by an Ahoy release like this.

This was great, Stuart. A mass of subtleties, using just the right amount of words, to elicit a memory, energy or feeling of that time - especially with regards to the cutesy mascot revolution. Took me back to my paper round, my brother’s old room, and playing Kid Chameleon. Thanks

I think the reason there are no longplays of Brat available is that there is a game-breaking bug that makes it uncompletable. The WHDLoad installer has fixed this, so it’s now possible to actually finish the game.
