Wrote the blueprint for western turn-based RPGs.

Maybe someday I'll post a book-length review explaining all the things I love about it, but that's unlikely, because I know I'd be showing my whole old ass by doing that. I know my take is biased because I played this when I was a nerdy, lonely teen and just vibed with it immensely. I know there are a lot of things that some other folks would find rushed, or sloppy, or off-putting, or janky about it.

But... eff me it's brilliant innit? I can still look at those flaws and say with a straight face: 10-out-of-10, top 5 all-timer, perfect game.

And unlike most things in the genre it spawned, it only takes 20 hours to complete! Copy that part of it more often please, CRPG makers.
