Hopefully you know by now that I love your reviews, Joe. And you've gotten enough praise for most of them that I don't feel bad telling you this one didn't hit me as well as your others. The writing is good, as usual, and I love your choice of game (I remember getting freaked out by the first level as a kid). I have trouble following you on the journey, though. It's because you start out with a positive endorsement of the game that you never really come back to. When I read any review, I'm aware that neutrality isn't really an option. You're going to tell me how a game plays, yes, but of course it's going to be from your perspective.

As someone who has played (and reviewed) Monster Party, I liked this review. I especially liked how you included a picture of a fierce-looking Minotaur attacking you with a cutesy little cartoon cow. That in itself sums up this game perfectly — one of those "picture = thousand words" moments.

I'm the only person I know who still likes Wizards and Warriors.

Hey, Zipp, I'm also someone who enjoys playing through the first Wizards & Warriors every now and then. However badly it has aged over the years -- it's rife with worthless items and a final level that's pure tedium -- there's still something on a rather basic level I actually dig about it.
