In Response To: Re: Rubicon Rating in Arkives (Steve Levinson)

: I'm really surprised that 3 people basically trashed Rubicon in the ratings

More If you include those for the Infinity version. But if I remember correctly, a lot of these votes were just individuals quick to join the anti-Rubicon bandwagon which FM was more or less quick to give a noticeable starting push. The ratings for both versions are, in my opinion, still lower than what they deserve.

: almost all the other ratings were mostly 5's. And I think that Frigidman
: just didn't like someone besting Evil, which Rubicon clearly did.

Agreed.

:I think
: Evil and Tempus had the advantage of being early conversions - by the time
: Rubicon came out, there wasn't much new ground left to tread. But Rubicon
: has a polish that no other 3rd party conversion can match. It was the
: late-comer, but worth the wait.

Having just gotten broadband access on my mac about five months ago, I've finally been able to download all of the TC's and play them in succession. Between Rubicon, Red, Evil, and TI, I must say that Rubicon is my favorite followed by TI. Red was very good; the story was put together well enough and the individual terminals laid out very nice, I just found the story as a whole a bit silly. Evil was also very good, level design and all that was great but the story was poorly paced and took too many strange turns too quickly. Ah, well, I really need to play these again, and the way I'm dropping classes this shouldn't be diffiicult.

Next up is Ph'jeour...Ph'jeoure..Ph'..screw it. That's the next up for me.

BTW: If this post reads funny, it's because the 2,w,s, and x keys are now only working half the time on my keyboard...
