GameSetLinks: The Great Zoo Race Of Boll
Yes, the GameSetLinks crew is back, with a great deal of random and not excessively old links, starting out with the UK Resistance crew cooing rather endearingly over Sega Superstars Tennis - and who can forget when UKR was a Sega Saturn fan site through and through, hm?
Also worth noting - IGF entrant The Great Zoo Race (pictured above) gets press for being certifiably crazed, IndieGames.com checks out Cactus' SeizureDome, and I remember Bill's Tomato Game fondly, for some weird reason. Here goes:

Referenced in the EG comments for Crayon Physics Deluxe, I recall playing this puzzle-y vaguely Crayon-ish thing (minus physics!) on Amiga - what an awesome game name!

Great name! Cactus is doing about a game a week right now, or something - it's insane.

This game (The Zoo Race) was entered into the IGF this year and got some 'interesting' feedback.

I like that Sega has decided to not flush Billy Hatcher down the swirly memory hole. I enjoyed it rather more than I thought I would. (But then, I also liked the Nights update....)
The Zoo Race game, however, is -insane-. I am not kidding or being ironic. I use the term with the fullest appreciation of its meaning,
