Ok wtf!

I thought I'd seen all the bad ones but this is pretty bad. I think I'd rather pull off all my toe nails and re-attached them with super glue rather than play this game.

SPI/Victory was everything that was wrong with role-playing in the 80s, but their John Carter game had some great reference material in it.

Still, the idea of running players through a complex, weeks-long Dallas campaign only to suddenly end it with "And then Victoria Principal wakes up. It was all a dream" has some serious entertainment value.
