An old
EGA
-
VGA
game put out by
Origin
Software
, (of
Ultima
fame
. It's an
overhead
view
RPG
-
style
game, à la
Times of Lore
. Basic
element
s are in the game like
weapon
s,
ammo
,
health
,
item
s,
talk
ing to people,
&c
. What makes it
memorable
is the less
typical
stuff
they threw in to keep it
fresh
:
>>
Post
-
apocalyptic
setting
>>
Choice of
character
s with
differ
ent
strength
s
>>
Mutant
s
>>
Cannibalism
and
>>
the
phat
ass
nadsat
tish
dialect
that they use.
This last
trait
alone
is enough to keep you
rivet
ed to your seat, and
playing
and
play
ing and play
ing
, just to "
hear
" them talk. It's a very
slick
sounding
language
, with
meaning
sometimes
sacrifice
d for
phonetic
ease
(à la
1984
).
N. B.
:
/me
does not
condone
the use of "à la"
twice
--
shit
,
thrice
in a
writeup
... or
cannibal
ism for that
matter
.
