I had some extra time today, and a need to zone out for a bit. Played a few quick games. Could tell pretty quickly it was a game that someone cared about.
Will probably play more if I can. Thanks for the heads up about the saves. Would have been very frustrating to find that out later.
Thanks for the post.
There exists a fantastic German metalcore band called “We Butter The Bread With Butter”, a name I always found to be funny. You don’t have to know anything about them except that they are awesome.
They are so good that have several tribute bands. One of them is from their home town and they are called “I Can’t Believe It’s Not We Butter The Bread With Butter”. I always found that to be absurdly hilarious.
My point is, it’s 2026 and the Germans are finally developing a sense of humor. I for one think that’s better.
Entshuldigung, woher ist den ausfahrt?
Al Lowe had originally planned to make part 4 as a massive multiplayer online game, but there were too many technical complications. Additionally, Al had writers block. So he skipped to part 5 saying it additionally afforded him a new start to get out from his writers block. He was supposed to get back to it one day, but never did.
I own all of the others. Part 3 (Passionate Patti In Pursuit Of The Pulsating Pectorals) is the best and the original Part 1 is runner up. All I ever wanted was a Part 4 though.
It’s Al’s 80th birthday in 13 days (July 24, 1946). Maybe he’ll get us something
I prefer older games. I don’t like a lot of buttons to push. Hell, I still fire up the old arcade games.
I felt compelled to make a second post. I’ve now played a few games and keep finding it to be very enjoyable. This is not without meaning considering I truly am not a big gamer. The author put a lot of thought into the game itself. That’s what I am enjoying about it. The discovery of their deep dynamics and not being bogged down by a cumbersome and time consuming system.
As I just pick up and put down, the save isn’t a problem. I’m usually dead by level 3 anyways. It is not forgiving.
Very impressive game to me at least. The games content is pretty unique. A lot of options that real life would afford you, yet other games omit (kicking objects at enemies, picking up stones). They would come up with a good idea and refuse to stop there, expounding on the idea with sub options. Sure, you can drink from that fountain to heal… but…
Very cool.
