"Out of the deep depths of misfortune comes bliss." What's up with reviewers today, huh? Sometimes they review half a game, sometimes they have selective reading, or sometimes they review OLD GAMES -- "OLD GAMES," you say? Yes, games so aged, the baby-boomers have to eyeball it a second time before the motors in their brains clicked, and they started constructing the connections in their heads. Reviewers have a job to tackle, folks. That occupation consists of appealing to their audience. Critics will critique, and readers will naturally formulate opinions -- it's the natural scheme of things. It doesn't matter the material.

This game has aged, but it's still 10/10 in my book; guess i'm not vain when it comes to graphics. It's like some people only like the girl cause she's cute, when there's so much more to look at.
A story I will never forget.
Even the music has stuck with me after all of these years.
