   I thought so too from the title, but it turns out RDF is just a 3D   
   shooter. It's a very good one, but the packaging and the instructions are   
   pretty misleading. SoulStar is another shooter on rails, with a whizzy   
   FMV animated background.

   I grew up with all that stuff, so a primitive game like Combat is   
   perfectly tolerable for me. What I really want now is a copy of the Coleco   
   version of Mountain King. I'm also going to hack the controller and see if   
   I can't put together something more usable.

   I keep hearing stories about people throwing a party, and then waking up   
   the next morning missing all their game hardware. Trust me, it's worth it   
   to have all that written down, maybe notarized and stored at a lawyer's   
   office too.
