Can anyone who has played BaSS inform me on the following?

1) Was it a good game? I know nothing about the game. Was it fun? What "style" of adventure game was it?

2) What was the robot like, in terms of personality? Was it basically a person in robot form like Lt. Commander Data, or was it more like Johnny Five?

This'll really help me out for something I can't talk about for five months. But then you'll all be like, "OH SNAP, JIGGA CHEESE!!"

(Who's Johnny? )

No :( IF, I assume?

It's an adventure game without text... I think.

No, THERE is some TEXT in it. In FACT, all DIALOGUE looks like THIS.

I didn't play very far and it was a couple months ago, but I think the robot was closer to being like Johnny 5.

Let's find out!

It was alright. A lot of people love it, I was rather disappointed with it but didn't hate it. It's your basic Sierra/Lucasarts style 2D inventory puzzler. It's kind of got a Bladerunner atmosphere type thing going. The name of the game comes from the fact that the underclasses (such as yourself) can no longer see the actual sky because the rich folks have constructed a huge city over their heads. So it's sort of a dystopian future as commentary on modern life vibe. Only it kills the mood with a lot of lame comedy.

2) What was the robot like, in terms of personality? Was it basically a person in robot form like Lt. Commander Data, or was it more like Johnny Five?

More Johnny 5 like. I think it was one of them sassy robots, but it's been years since I played the game, and this may be a delusion brought on by the malaria. I actually cannot remember anything specific the robot said or did. But it was the type of game that would include a sassy robot sidekick.

This'll really help me out for something I can't talk about for five months. But then you'll all be like, "OH SNAP, JIGGA CHEESE!!"

I AM HELPING! I AM HELPING!

(Who's Johnny? )

That would be the name of the robot, I believe.

Thanks, Debaser! I think I can buy this thing for $4.99 somewhere. I may do that, just for the sake of research.

I hope your malaria clears up.

=(

You can download the fucking thing, legally, for free, with the latest ScummVM terp (0.6.0).

I can't believe there's a Johnny 5 fan site with over 200 members. I read a few of the posts and it's pretty pathetic.
