This is incredible writing. I'm glad that a review for this game exists, because I think it (and a very old Nintendo Power that quickly glosses over the game) are the only evidence remaining that Wizards and Warriors X ever existed.

Note to gamers: when someone shoots you in the face, they aren't "gay." They are "psychopathic."

I'd almost forgotten about this review. Venter hates it! But it did trick several people to lick their elbows.

Thanks!

For us. For them. For you.

Now you're just making stuff up, EmP. This review is actually the one that made me really notice and appreciate your writing style back in the day, so "hate" is a rather inappropriate way of putting it.

"Too often we enjoy the comfort of opinion without the discomfort of thought." - John F. Kennedy on reality

"What if everything you see is more than what you see--the person next to you is a warrior and the space that appears empty is a secret door to another world? What if something appears that shouldn't? You either dismiss it, or you accept that there is much more to the world than you think. Perhaps it really is a doorway, and if you choose to go inside, you'll find many unexpected things." - Shigeru Miyamoto on secret doors to another world2

I do that sometimes!

I do remember it as part of my elusive hunt for my first RotW mention and not quite making it on the list. If memory serves, I won it the next three out of four weeks afterwards before you made the baffling decision to promote me.

I've always had a soft spot for this review. Back in the day, my biggest problem was that I thought I had to write a set way and spat out clunkers like the Jurassic Park review Genj still rides me about. This was my first real attempt at doing something completly different and I very almost didn't sub it to HG as I expected to be ridiculed for it.

There's today's little slice of nostalgia for me.

For us. For them. For you.

I will now write a review explaining to people that they have cancer if their hand is bigger than their face.
