i wanted to rate this game 5 stars, but in my heart of hearts i knew i was being biased so i subtracted points for the bugs. that being said: this game made me everything i am today. it has dinosaurs, a really cool hellenistic mash-up world of ancient egypt, greece, and rome, pirates, medieval castles, really dumb and cheesy humor, a plus-size librarian lady, 50's-era aesthetic sci-fi, dogs, an unfathomably ahead of its time soundtrack, a ridiculously addictive marketplace area (iyky),and overall just a really earnest affection for everything 'b movie'. yes, it's clunky and unpolished (none of the people involved had ever made a game before this), yes, there are tons of bugs, some of which are utterly game-breaking (the amount of save files i've had to erase/record over because some bug utterly wrecked everything and made it unplayable is staggering), but consider this point in this game's favor: i love it
