Does it seem odd to anyone else that the main gladiator character of Hippodrome as recounted in Mike's VGame Roundup #20 is 6 feet tall and weighs only 175? I mean, not that I'm knocking it, since I'm somewhat similarly proportioned, but doesn't that seem a little skinny for a sword-wielding member of the Fighter Race? I would have thought one would put on a few pounds of muscle while spending their days fighting dragons capable of "Dragon's Breath!" and sundry other mythological beasts. Perhaps it was mistranslated, and the master-swordsman actually weighs 175 kilograms. Now that is a fighting weight. Just look at the NFL.
As for #19, Mickey's Space Adventure... what an auspicious start for Sierra On-line. Clearly they are doing their fans a disservice with their current Half-Life series and should have remained focused on that avatar of educational advancement, Mickey Mouse. Though Mike's critique of educational games left out one of the fields' stalwarts. Are you going to tell me Number Munchers wasn't awesome? Oh, you want to compare it to Odell Lake and Oregon Trail... Point taken.
