All well written. Your Coconuts review definitely matches my thoughts.

I'm glad you gave the new version of Conquest of Mars a try. I also thought it was a little easier and much more enjoyable to play.

Never played Conquest but thats a big change B- from D-! Must be good when you get the hang of it,
C is just right for Fast Eddie. Nifty, kinda fun but shallow. Fully agreed with the nice review.
Coconuts "Lame"... , yup its typial attempt at copying Activisions better work!

MY COCONUT REVIEW, (wrote in 5 mins work with me folks)
Coconuts
I only played on emulation. I find it pointless... and not fun. It's like Fast Food but without the charm and more uneven (easy/hell) in difficulty! The gameplay is just running mindless back 'n forth AVOIDING the Coconuts. There's a lighting fast Monkey above, dropping the entire worlds Coconuts supply at you (Wasteful Beast!) So, if you like falling Coconuts with you as Gilligan and a Monkey, minus any Ginger or Maryanne or any strategy at all for that matter! This is the game for you.
Final Thought,
I don't find it better then Lost Luggage or Eggomania, two similar games, probably more random and useless "D-"
