Why the $%\*\*&! do they do that? There were so many fantastic games over the years and now they’ve %$£!!\*& vanished! Instead I have to keep churning out the cash for multi-megabyte 3d drivel with a tenth the atmosphere of the eight-bit stuff.

Hmm. Maybe I just figured out why they do that.

I hadn’t thought of it that way. Oh, well. Guess I’ll have to go and finish the game again, and see how it feels if I look at it that way. Hmmm… Actually, thanks **SPOOFE** , if I think of it that way, then it no longer is someone doing the worst voice-over in history, it becomes a weird alien entity trying (and almost failing) to pass itself off as human. Ahhh! A lot better like that. The universe makes a little more sense now… 😃
