As I said, I think that it's an unfair comparison that does a great disservice to Star Cluster. I mean, aside from one very superficial similarity, the two games are <I>nothing</I> alike.

That said, I care. I think that grasping at straws in an attempt to liken a game that you don't care for to one of the most widely reviled RPG products ever released is particularly low.

If you don't agree with me, that's great, but it doesn't change my opinion any. All I know is that I wouldn't want somebody telling people that my RPG was like FATAL if it wasn't.

The whole review comes across as particularly loaded (alternating between half-harted praised and veiled insults*), but that part stuck out as being particularly shitty.

*For example, suggesting that Mr. Bowley is a drunkard or that the game would have been decent had it only been released ten or more years ago.
