   1 After playing, I recommend reading the creators notes. It made me want to play a few more times. Very cool concept, if a little depressing. Reply to this comment.

   2 Well, I didn’t have to play it in order to cry. I just looked at the system requirements. Because I’m still on Win98. What can I say, my ship’s an old one. Cap’ns don’t cry! (B-|)~ Reply to this comment.

   3 Yeah, forgot to say how I found this place. It was by accident - through Giant In the Playground forums. (B-|)~ Reply to this comment.

   4 Okay, that was rough. At first I was a little frustrated because there didn’t seem to be a goal or anything, or treasure to find, and then I realized treasure wasn’t the point. It was to get where I was going. And then, when I had to go on alone… Well, it doesn’t take much to get me to cry anyway. Reply to this comment.

   5 Author Comment Thanks for the reminder Felonious! The creators notes make the game after you play it. I almost emailed the guy after stalking him. My first time through I collected treasure and explored the maze without looking. When I realized that the treasure meant nothing and my death was imminent I began to ran towards the end hoping for anything to save me. On second play through I found a wife. We moved slower through the scenery, more straight, and I noticed we both couldn’t fit through to explore. But she was mine. When she died I just stared at the gravestone and walked around it back and forth hoping to die. Well, I didn’t have to play it in order to cry. I just looked at the system requirements. Because I’m still on Win98. What can I say, my ship’s an old one. Cap’ns don’t cry! (B-|)~ Much respect to you Captain. You truly fly the flag of a renegade ship! Reply to this comment.

   6 That game left me feeling very confused. On my first run through I found the girl and then got stuck trying to move through the “maze”. The narrow vision and fairly featureless landscape mocked my instincts of 2D gaming. The second time I played it again to try to reach the “end” by walking with the girl to the right. I knew fairly early on that after the first few scene changes there wasn’t going to be an end, but I kept going anyway in the hope that there might be something to see at the end of it all.
