Preliminary: Imma give it a try but... this Look and Sound are way below par for 1990. And I see it has a bunch of time-based events that you often have to pointlessly wait for.

Preliminary: Imma give it a try but... this Look and Sound are way below par for 1990. And I see it has a bunch of time-based events that you often have to pointlessly wait for. And cheap deaths from punks wandering. So likely will not be tolerated. We shall see. Cuz I do like cyberpunk. (Not that the Look is even remotely cyberpunk lol)

Wow okay but this beginning intro music into the title screen is amazing ambient. Okay.

So I had to wait a long time at the beginning for a phone call frm a friend. He tells me his new codename. I get the pencil to write it down but then the game tells me someone is playing something loudly nearby, so it scrolled past the codename and no way to scroll up... Ugh adventure games. I love the Feel of them but their Play can be so tedious. And I'm not in love with the font, which was a bit hard for me to read at times.

Yeaaaa as amazing as the music is there isn't enough for me to push through. Moving on.
