I hope in some way that we can all be distinctive, but also that we're consistent enough that no one says "it's too bad such and such is going this game, I was hoping for a better reviewer".

I trust my fellow adventure gamer readers (Don't let me down, people!)<br /><br />Though I suspect that apart from some of us other reviewers, most readers probably don't pay attention to who the writer is of each game.TBDhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13815382857422719383noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-87190049629469690122016-10-12T00:50:10.054+11:002016-10-12T00:50:10.054+11:00I think it's just part of your style, Ape.

I wonder if we had a contest where we would pick up paragraphs from posts of each reviewer (with all revealing references being blanked), would the readers be able to connect the correct paragraph with the correct reviewer?

"It's not as though I consider it a bad game – hell, I am fairly sure that I would have far preferred it to the 'Wheel of Fortune' clones et al that littered my school computers before my brother managed to trick the school staff into using our copy of Monkey Island on them (er, not that this happened naturally because piracy is bad) but in truth, all of the other games we've reviewed aimed at an 'easier playthrough' or a 'younger audience' really aren't quite on the same level as this one."Corey Colehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16772474266362396768noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-79240231571039434792016-10-11T05:27:07.714+11:002016-10-11T05:27:07.714+11:00This does look pretty!

I felt much the same about "Winnie the Pooh" and "Dragon's Keep" and it's a shame that those old interfaces don't hold up today for kids. <br /><br />Seriously, someone should make modern versions of some of these Sierra "Edutainment" titles. I'd LOVE to have this or one of the Lowe games on my son's iPad. And I do NOT let him have any games yet beyond the "Peekaboo" titles.
