I, Damiano (PC) review"Somewhere in the midst of all this frivolity are cheery themes like wholesale genocide, illicit sex, and an epidemic of the Black Death; this is of course followed by folk dancing, because Damiano is a very complex individual." |
I, Damiano is a text adventure – and not a very good one. But even if the graphics are rudimentary CGA, the sounds are ear-piercing bleeps, and the parser is dumb as bricks, they have nothing on the fact that this harmless little “adventure” is actually writhing beneath the sinister coils of SATAN.
For instance, you’ll note that the cover displays a muscular, broadsword-wielding barbarian locked in combat with a snarling dragon whilst a helpless maid sprawls at their feet. This is somewhat interesting because the titular protagonist is in fact a frail, homely witch who flings unholy hellfire from his staff, and you don’t actually kill the dragon per se; you give him a book of love poetry so he can put the moves on your ex-girlfriend. Such base deceit can only be the work of Lucifer, Prince of Lies!

Sho enjoys classic video games, black comedy, and poking people until they explode -- figuratively or otherwise. He also writes a bit. |
