I guess the picture I am trying to paint here is one of lost potential. The story, based on factual history, could work. The party system and scores of items offer depth. Conceptually, there was something here. Perhaps the guy who came up with the ‘idea’ was the one standing by the punch bowl, telling anyone who would listen how his ‘kid’ was destined for greatness. Maybe everyone thinks their kids are destined for greatness.

The sad truth is, most of them are not. For every successful person, you need thousands of average ones to support their greatness. This is a fact of nature and it certainly applies to games. Unfortunately for this guy, he let his idea be incarnated into a faulty body, and what we have left is a game that leaves nothing but the desire to play something truly great.
