It is a fun game and you hit the nail on the head regarding what type of game it is, as it is very much a party game rpg. I think it was an interesting choice that didn't meet the desires of either the RPG crowd or the casual crowd for a gaming experience. Too little crunch for the gamers of the era and too much for the Host a Murder crowd.
I have never heard of this. It's amazing. There were so many RPGs based on TV. There's now even a Space:1999 RPG. That adds to Dr Who RPG, Ghostbusters RPG, erm... there's others.
Never anything like this. Brilliant concept. Scripted victory conditions.
Oh my gosh!! I was so curious about this game, thanks so much for this column!!!!
It's too bad the game wasn't scalable for different numbers of players. That seems like a do-able tweak or maybe a couple of more intimate scenario scripts or a way to make the characters NPCs. I still find the attempt fascinating.
