Plot: After World War II, Hitler escaped on a plane to the city of Thundar Bay. Unfortunately, you were the guy to greet him as he got off the plane and now you've pissed him off. After coming to your town, and killing your friend Mike Lam, you must now go on a quest. What exactly? I'm not sure, but I'm sure it involves thwarting Hitler, among other things.
Review: This game has undergone several changes, and had several releases.
The original releases had no plot at all, but the later ones seem to have
added something, including the Hitler plot. I must admit that at first,
I was shocked to see the Hitler plotline when I first loaded the more recent
work in progress demo, but I am not an easily offended person, and quickly
found the humor in having Hitler be in the game. After all, he is made
out to be the bad guy, and a real jerk at that. The graphics are not that
great in this game, but I must admit that they have improved greatly with
each edition of this game to be released. By the time this game is finished,
they should be really good. The technicals are also pretty good. The north-south-east-west
orientation switches around a bit, but it is within a reasonable limit.
Marshall Hahn is obviously very talented, albeit a bit twisted. The big
thing that makes this game suffer is the complete lack of understanding
nearly every entered command. This can be very fustrating. Even "look"
doesn't work 90% of the time. Adding functionality for understanding entered
commands is not that hard, especially when compared next to the difficultly
of drawing scenes and graphics. I really plea with Marshall to sit down
and really spend some time with this issue before releasing a more polished
edition.
