[edit] Citation Please

I haven't seen the game and I am not well versed in the culture of Interactive Fiction, but any claim that a work contains the best character ever implemented in a computer game needs to be supported with citation. If it is "widely regarded" as the best, it should be easy to find an outside source which says so. I am sure it is a great work, but a list of awards it has won should indicate that very well.

Well, the claim was actually about the field of interactive fiction, not about CVGs in general, but the point is valid, of course. I've went forward and reworded the statement to be a clearly attributed quote. I also plan on adding several quotes from reviews and mentioning the sheer size of the game--it's 260 Kb of Z code, which is BIG by Z code standards (Curses is smaller!)--but that will have to wait until I get some much-needed sleep... ---Vladimir V.
