Once.

Then later, in early high school, I came back to it and found a lot of new things to appreciate. I managed to make some real progress on a few long play sessions, but I lost my progress on it twice thanks to a few power losses, and gave up on it forever after that.

I wonder if I played it again today I’d just circle back around to being confused & aggravated by the opacity & repetition of it all. But it’s not without its charms, and is indeed damned ambitious. Unnecessarily so, considering the subject matter.

It can be a tough sell now, but it was pretty groundbreaking in its time.

Hopefully I can try them again with new perspective.
