HackMaster is the name of one of the very first utilities ever written for the Palm. It seems wrong to see the word in any other context.

Hey! We could use something like this at Epinions. Lots of users like to 'play games' anyway...:-)

Very...nicely...done !!!

*grin* Now there's an idea. If only we could check people's Honor score in real life...

Whattya mean?? (Reply to this comment)

Taunt and wuss slap--over the top, indeed!

Harumph!

I keep trying to remind myself that I don't have time to adopt yet another game system, even one that would have as many familiar elements as this one would.

It's encouraging to hear that it isn't just a retro joke. It's pretty much what I expected it to be.

Great review!

I really love the game. :) Well worth a try if you can squeeze a few more hours out of the week. We play it every other Sunday.

My husband is a die-hard Dork Tower fan, so we've been curious. We may have to pick this one up.
