![]() ![]() Given that I’m a rancher of dinosaurs, it should come as no surprise that I am also a skilled chemist and am quickly able to find a cure. When I arrive in the City of Knowledge, I head straight to the medical college, where I start to research a cure for the sleeping sickness. While travelling, I’m attacked by a random Pterandon, which is easily swatted by my robot. There are two cities I can go, which are named ‘The City of Knowledge’ or ‘The City of Industry’. Eventually settling on a cowboy robot (designed to herd dinosaurs, it is a biped robot which I imagine has a cowboy hat on top of its head), I’m asked to choose my destination. ![]() Heading out into the robot’s parking lot, I pick a robot to drive. Ah, I see that we’re working on the Final Fantasy approach to gunfire and swords. ![]() Anyway, despite this game being set in a world far off in the future in which giant robots are a thing and high-tech guns are easily obtainable, my character rushes to fetch his father’s sword from the attic. Perhaps I had lasagna instead of chicken for dinner the night before. I’ve honestly no idea how they could have drugged the food of every single person in the country, or why I’m not affected as well. Nontheless, I get home one day from a long day of dinosaur herding to find that the entire country has been drugged with sleeping pills, so that an enemy nation of villainous bad guys can invade. This was made about a decade before Jurassic Park reminded us all that trying to put a bunch of giant carnivorous reptiles behind some flimsy fences is not a great idea. In fact, your character owns a dinosaur ranch, and uses the giant robots to herd dinosaurs. As you can see from the cover, this book involves giant robots and dinosaurs. But enough rambling, let’s get on with the analysis. I suspect that it’s the latter, to be totally honest with you. The second is that people like to torture me with unfathomable agonising pain. The first is that this is a damn good book and will totally change my mind about sci-fi FF books. I can think of only two possible reasons. But still, people have requested that I play this one. I mean yeah, the fantasy ones can be very generic at times, but very few of them has ever left me wanting to peel out my own teeth and clean the inside of my skull out with them. No, really, for this blog I’ve already played through Starship Traveller, Rebel Planet, Freeway Fighter, Space Assassin, and they have all been unrelentingly painful. This book has been requested by readers several times, I assume purely because my readers know just how much I dislike the sci-fi Fighting Fantasy collection. ![]()
