F. Pohl's Gateway - 3 by Commander Tansin A. Darcos 06/06/2013, 3:55am PDT


I can't necessarily fault the parser, but it might be nice if a character who is male uses "pick up" on a character that is female, treated it as the equivalent of "ask target for a date" or something like that since it should be expected. I like that they did think of the possibility, though. Her turning him down indicates either she gets hit on a lot, or he also looks like Ron Howard's bald brother in the game, too!

I also found out you "play" the games in the casino, so it isn't too far from reality. Especially since every play, you lose. Maybe (from my prior post where you couldn't insert your debit card into the slot machine) I'm overlaying what is common practice now - hooking one's card into the gambling device to add winnings or subtract losings - and either wasn't thought of then or hadn't been done back when this game was created. (Casinos in reality only do this with your casino card; I shudder to think what would happen if you could hook your actual credit card into a one-armed bandit and gamble right to the limit of your credit line, or to the limit of your bank account if you were using a check card!)
