5.0 out of 5 stars A unique game which still holds up today., May 12, 2011

This review is from: Prophecy of the Shadow (CD-ROM)

First off, this whole game was done by one programmer as opposed to the usual team of programmers on a game. Character generation is a fast process but the character still feels well developed. The uniqueness here lies in how the npcs are played by live actors in cutscenes long before such a thing became standard, and how programmer Jaimi RR McEntire digitized them well enough to fit the whole game on 5.25 inch floppy discs. This one's worth getting if you have a computer that can still run it. I admit I have a somewhat selfish reason for this review as well. Seeing a number of his reviews of products on Amazon, I know Mr. McEntire visits Amazon frequently. I'm kind of hoping he will see this and start selling this game again in any form because my computer with a 5.25 floppy drive died right before I got to the end... And I've been missing this game ever since.
