In Response To: Beta 2 test: Pfhoraphobia (Godot)

I love this bit of prose so much, Hamish. It's fantastic.

:
: Unfortunately, no one can be told what Pfhoraphobia is. You have to see it
: for yourself.
:

: Fear.
:
: Pfhor girl: What do you know about fear?
: Security Officer: All there is.
: Pfhor girl: Well not like this. Not like him.
:

: Fear.
:
: I imagine that "Pfhoraphobia" will be impossible, but I haven't
: tried it yet.

: (Jason Jones, comp.sys.mac.games, 25 January 1995)
:

: Fear.
:
: Pfhor fighter: How do you kill a human without fear?
: Enforcer: By puttin' the fear in him.
:

: Fear.
:
: No, there is no saved game terminal on this level.

: (Marathon Spoiler Guide)
:

: Fear.

: Rumours of a secret Pattern Buffer on Pfhoraphobia spread like wild fire
: during the early part of 1995. Some said it was in a secret passageway.
: Others behind a secret wall panel. Some said you needed the secret
: Hypervision to see it. While others said it couldn't be seen, you just had
: to use the action key in the right spot.

: Fear.
:
: Pfhor boy: Do not try and save the game. That's impossible. Instead… only
: try to realise the tru 7 h.
: Security Officer: What tru 7 h?
: Pfhor boy: There is no save.
: Security Officer: There is no save?
: Pfhor boy: Then you'll see, that it is not the game that saves, it is only
: yourself.
: Security Officer: Save myself?
: Pfhor boy: Yes… RUN !!!
:

: Fear.
:
: From the relative safety of your ledge, polish up your rocket launcher and
: fire a well aimed projectile at the Alien Leader's head. When you do this,
: a pack of furious Compilers will swoop up and attack.

: (Tuncer Deniz, Marathon: The Official Strategy Guide)
:

: Fear.

: Some say that the Pfhor cyborg controller looks like Osama bin Laden when
: viewed up close. No surprises there, didn't Bungie use the image of Saddam
: Hussein in one of their other games? Others question why the Compilers
: still attack after you kill their controller. Some question Bungie's
: motives for creating games where the "bad dude at the end" can
: be killed with just a few bullets. Others simply point to May 1, 2011.

: Fear.
:
: Unfortunately, no one can be told what Pfhoraphobia is. You have to PLAY it
: for yourself.
:

: Cheers
: Hamish
