I spent too many hours playing BT's 1 and 2. The graphing was just part of
the experience.
Of course, I have spent too many hours playing games all together.

Are you sure it was me? Jim Davis wrote the synopsis. I just thought the
novella by Matthis was not good. He's done much better.

I had no idea they made Bard's Tale for the NES.
Half the fun of playing was getting out the graph paper!

Fantastic Voyage (the movie, not the Coolio video).
The movie was mediocre, but the book (a novelization by Isaac Asimov)
was so bad that Asimov wrote a sequel who

First I would point out that it is rare, but sometimes a movie is better
then a book at least in my opinion.
Secondly, I would agree that movies and books are completely different
mediums and will tell a story in a dif

Hah, I haven't heard the word "Shuriken" since the last time I played
"The Bard's Tale II" (which I still have the floppy disk and manual
for!)

IMO, there is nothing lamer than a "book vs. movie" fight.
Books - assuming you read them - are *always* better than movies,
because you envision the characters the way you want to envision them.
Books tend to go into much more detail about many things, drawing a
world with words, but ultimately,
I'll have to agree with you on most things, especially "I, Robot".
Hollywood does bastardize the movies. Maybe they needs to meet an explosion
quota or something.
I loved Asimov growing up. It would have been better to never have read the
book and see the movie. Another writer whose books get sig

Jim,
I just finished the book last week. I thought it was very entertaining. I
haven't seen the movie, but I have read a summary. It does seem like the
movie is very different.

Nice Jim, you saved me from needing to read the book with your Cliff Notes.

So I saw "I Am Legend" the other day and it got me really interested in

completely different than the book. Oh, I suppose there are similarities...
