Strange kind of reviewing...

This review of Mr. Smoozles Goes Nutso must be the weirdest I've seen. But actually it's also quite funny and in-between the weirdness he actually says some nice things about the game.

"...which would make this an ARCADE ADVENTURE game! You see that, a completely new genre! Take that to your message forum and see how they deal."

Way cool! A new genre! :)

"I want this game ported to Xbox Live Arcade"

Me too.

If you're so inclined, you can also rate the game. Or is the rating for the review? Who knows...

Hey Steve! Glad to hear that Nutso is still pulling in the positive reviews.

I hate to be a rules laywer, but the term "arcade adventure" has long antiquity. It seems to have originated in the Newsfield offices where Zzap! and Crash! were published. They also coined the term "aardvark" as a shorthand for arcade adventure.

Hope all is well!

Chris.

Thanks, Chris. I'm in the process of re-building it so it's Vista compatible.

Yeah, I thought as much really. I should have known that you'd be the expert to put me right. :)
