I'm not sure who will ever see this comment but I have to say, I got a chance to play this game with somebody again a couple days ago and it reminded me that this is, by all accounts, one of the best video games I have ever played.

If you're reading this as a lone traveller on the internet, I implore you, don't pass on this because it's local-multiplayer only, find a friend and give it a go! Now I want to organise a tournament...
