Comment: Now THIS is a funny game. The theme could have been improved by having a scene at the end where he's back up there. Coulda had some extra
humour there as well. Still, Good music, but sparse, and the sounds were good, in terms of quality. One thing though, it was too easy to complete.
I didn't even have to go to half the places!

Comment: Amazing. Simply Amazing. Never before has this type of game appeared in MZX. My hat goes off to the maker of this game. The music was great,
however that mountain tune got on my nerves after a while. Another problem is that it's too easy to die, and the rebirth sequence only works once.
The bug which made it impossible to get to the mountains in normal gameplay is extremely frustrating as well. Buggy, but good.

Comment: Amazing. A fully working RPG combat system, with customizable attacks! The only niggle is that after a while all the enemies don't do any damage to you,
you don't seem to run out of items, and also the system doesn't erase the enemies for the next battle. The music fits it perfectly, especially the battle tune.

Comment: Quite good actually. It had a good theme, an acceptable plot, if not a little overdone in other things (that's why it got a low originality score),
The comment at the end was pretty funny. This could have had more sounds in, but apart from that, a mediocre attempt, that deserves some credit.

Comment: Graphics weren't that good, but still, it subsides to an incredibly addictive game. The last two levels didn't work, but still, amazing. And it came
with an endless mode, which should provide HOURS UPON HOURS of entertainment. The end was also funny.

Comment: No music and no sound, with bad graphics, no plot and a frankly rubbish system. You couldn't see the mouse half of the time, and the grenades didn't work.
Try harder.

Comment: This game was basically unplayable from day 1. Half the boards didn't work, and only the first level was playable. The vampire thing isn't really original either.
Try harder.

Comment: Pretty decent. Original, fun, you can actually play all the way through it, and it sticks to the theme BRILLIANTLY (<<REBIRTH>>) Good in every sense of the word.

Comment: The scary CV_BOSS music?! goddamnit! This was a pretty good game, but it lacked decent GFX, music and sound. The plot was the same as quite a few others in this DoZ
though, which is REVENGE. Still though.. this deserves SOME credit.

Comment: This game offered a good twist: You play as the bad, bloodthirsty plant. I enjoyed reading the lavish descriptions, but overall found it a bit boring really. It was too short
and only one or two pieces of music. This is good, but it could have been better.

Comment: This game suffered greatly. Bad GFX, bad sounds, bad plot. It was so unplayable, I barely managed to finish this bastard game. TRY HARDER.

Comment: It's obvious that the person who made this is trying to either emulate or take the piss out of ZZT. still, the graphics are semi-OK (as soon as you get
past the ZZT bit.) and the games are pretty fun to play. It's very humorous, and the music is great (That captain bROTON music rocks)

Comment: This is obviously a game which has been rushed. It has a few bugs, and also, about NO challenges at all. They must also realize that the majority of people
in the MZX community are NOT from Britain, so they DON'T KNOW about RADIO 1. Try harder.
