- Well then that just shows you the caliber of Genie users (not to offend
- any Genie people on here, heh).. Darklands, quite simply put, is a
- pointless 18 meg hack and slash. No play value whatsoever. The graphics
- aren't even that good! For 18 megs, I was hoping Ultima 7 quality.. I
- played the game for about 2 weeks and then deleted it from my HD. It's
- trash. It's slow. It has no point. End of story!
- And I like RPG's too!
