Hey…someone bought it. I hope you contact them and ask for the twenty dollars back from the original price. If you really want to get back at these rip off merchants (and help out other iPod owners)...post the file on the P2P networks…you no it makes sense.

RIAA? Who cares? I’m Canadian also so i really doesn’t matter to me. But even still the chances of you being caught is so slim…

The general idea behind the game is a good but unfortunately there hasnt really been much effort put into this. out of 10 i would give it a 2!
As for sending people copies of the file, i wouldnt want to be to blame for anyone else to having to taint their ipods with such complete crap!!!

Please I want to test it out agaisnt the quality of the ones that we had made here. I will send you the one that James Rayer made. I would like to see how a company stacks up against a creative iPod user.

A joke! For a text game?
I hope people realize there are MUDs out there you can play online on telnet or web pages, etc that are FREE! Not to mention interactive with other players!
Now that this thing is lowered to $10, compare it to a copy of Quake III and Unreal Tournament that is out in the bargin bins.
Compare the workmanship and quality.
What gives?
There’s a reason there isn’t a “screen shot”. It’s too lame!

Oh yeah, forgot to add…
Game boy games retail at a high price of only $30 and the bargin bin and used ones goes for as low as $3-$10!
Don’t get played a fool

btw, isn’t the image on the website strikingly similar to a current movie trilogy? sue their butts and bankrupt them, mr. jackson (or is it Tolkien’s heirs?)

To all the people who keep saying I dont want my iPod to play games I want to play music shhhh!
maybe you dont but some people do! Im sure weve all sat there on a boring train ride and got out our phone or iPod and played a game just for somit to do thats what its for not like they created the iPod toaster add-on jeez!
although I gotta agree $30 for a game dont think so and even now $10 is still too much.. couple of days and itll be on KaZaA… and why call it a game?
This reminds me of the old fighting fantasy books that used to be a book by going to certain paragraphs you could chose what happened in the book which is what this is so it aint a game its a book taht you control and trust me they are fun but when the ipod switches off youll lose your place so its pretty stupid and there will only be on game so once it done its done so $30 dont think so! Id rather buy $30 worth of shoe laces for the future than buy this!

It looks like they lowered it to $9.99 which is still too much.

If they spent less time on graphics on their website and released it free it would be very cool. But charging for it is sort of ridiculous, at least $10/$30.
