Blades of Exile review
All Game Guide (1998): "The tips and hints have also become more informative and complete with each new game. Some of them are more tongue-in-cheek than informative, but for those who might not have played these games before, they can be both invaluable and lifesaving. Make sure to search everywhere (click the "eye" button and then click on a container to search it). Sometimes, very interesting things are hidden in the most unlikely places. If you've ever wanted to design your own adventure scenario, or wanted to design an adventure module for your friends, this game might be what you've been looking for."
This was probably the first RPG I ever played. I used to design custom scenarios with my brothers. While I think the Avernum and Geneforge series are much better overall, this one will always be remembered fondly.
Also, it's neat that Jeff is STILL making games to this day. The guy's a legend.
