Arrgghhhh! I've just 'survived' the Myth experience and here I
find myself in Pagan Puppy land.

Pagan Puppy is cute, and allegedly involves evil mutant time
travelling penguins amongst other equally unfeasible entities. You
MUST remember to type 'Norman' if you want to start the game. If
you forget this, having read through reams and reams of
instructions about how to construct sentences which the game
understands etc and try to start playing the game without this
little gem of information, then you'll get nowhere fast. Perhaps
like me you'll try any number of sensible start up commands, which
will be doubtless followed by some less sensible ones! When in
desperation you get to rude commands then the game suddenly starts
to do things, but not things you would like! Paragraph after
paragraph of torment and torture is ladled upon you, hot lava,
trolls beating you to a pulp, ridicule and scorn and all because
you said a rude word, and I really do think the game merits the
odd rude word I can tell you! Let that be a lesson to you all!
Just because a game is mind- bogglingly infuriating is no reason
to swear! (apparently!)

Hmmm, I'm sure any number of you bright lateral minded people out
there will really enjoy this game, but I have a flaw in my
character (what, just the one?); I find this game too 'smart' for
its own good. The occasional wise crack is funny, but I think it's
easy to over step the mark and insult the player, something which
inevitably results in my dumping the game into the recycle bin!

Rating: Exit! (very similar to U Bend!)
