@bcyy and Tammy,
Yes, I could have used a test Skill or Luck roll instead of giving you the choice to dodge or return 'fire' - but after all the fuss about too many test rolls in my adventures.... |

I really enjoyed playing. |

@Jason,
Glad you enjoyed it - and sorry you got killed! |

That was a blast to play, on about my 4th run through, almost there... I got destroyed by a mechanical mechanic, but I WILL try and try again! |

@Mike R
Sorry you got killed. Like Deus Ex, there are alternate routes in completing the mission. During writing, the asteroid base developed into a complex web of paths; a walkthrough would be a little misleading if players wanted to try a different way. But thanks for letting me know how you died! |

Run through number 5, a memento in my pocket, and some MTV on the tube, and the universe is safe... For now...
Thanks for the opportunity to play (and win) the game. :)

Oops, I meant 9, not 5... |

The memento was something I'd borrowed from a film, although I could never remember what it was called. Plot-wise, a table-top wargames enthusiast turned out to be the villain. In the end, his nemesis picked up a Napoleon figurine and pocketed it. I thought it was a nice finishing touch with a message: 'I've won - and this will help remind me of what happened here.' Sean does the same thing, although in this case it's a Red Dragon, also an in-game nod to Games Workshop.
BTW, glad you made it...on the ninth attempt. |

@ Ness,
Sorry you died there. Looks like BZP's difficulty slider might be set to 'hard' as you'd pointed out. Anyway, see how you get on in future forays - that golden star might be just around the corner!
@ Everyone,
Been away on holiday for this past week. Long time spent travelling, things went a bit wrong (as they usually do on trips!), and didn't get to see everything I wanted such as Melrose Abbey and Douglas Castle (the latter might be my ancestral home, not sure which particular branch of the Douglas Clan I'm on) - looks like I'll need another holiday to get over it! On the other hand, it was somewhat colourful and the caravan was a comfortable class. I might go back to the first place we visited which was a Buddhist temple in Scotland. It was undergoing renovations in the wonderful garden there; be nice to revisit there in a year or so, see how they've got on with that. Lovely place and very peaceful. Buddhists don't eat meat of any sort, although the vegetable dishes were very tasty. It was a bit strange having to remove shoes before entering dining hall but I rather enjoyed attending lunch and dinner in my bare feet. Liberating! |

@ Stinger,
Glad you enjoyed it - and hope you do okay next foray! There isn't any 'true' path in BZP; more down to choice with some useful (one essential) items, handy weapons, and high stats are always a plus. |

This is one of my favourite gamebooks on the entire site. I love the PI/SciFi genre crossover aspect of it, and I found it to be well-written and balanced nicely with regards to combat, dice rolls and choices.
