Future Boy Review
I thought it had been posted about.
I just wanted to comment on Fovily's new review of Future Boy... http://www.adventuregamers.com/article/id,472 I think it is the best piece she's written and personally one of the best on the site. Well done girlfriend. I have to admit -- -- I HAVE become a bit of a "lazy gamer" recently, when playing games just for fun. Nice to read that though FB is a graphically enhanced text game, it creates a whole other level of gameplay with the interface design and more. I am definitely looking forward to my copy getting here. Appears that General Coffee got it right. Sooo he flies right at you when the game starts huh - woooosh. And you had how much coffee that day? |

I personally would prefer less of "it's text-based, but really not boring, believe me!" talk.* On the other hand, some people have allergic reaction on text interface, so it's good you stress how much you obviously enjoyed the game grading it by standards of graphical, commercial release.
Apart from that a great review, and I especially wanted to praise the writing - it's excellent. I won't find appropriate words. The first two paragraphs made me smile like nothing in the past few weeks. Thank you, Emily, keep them coming! *Well, actually I may have been imagining things. I'm rereading the article now and I can't find the part which gave me that impression.

It sure made me want to play it! All the other people chiming in with comments about how funny and enjoyable it was sure don't hurt though.

As a long time fan of text adventures I'n glad to see that, not only is the genre not dead, but it's being given a bright and shiny modern makeover. Thanks for bringing this to my attention fov.
