Can I put this succintly? Capsule review by Ian ... Crap, Crap, Crap, Crap, Crap, Crap, Crap, Hmmm ... last track's okay-ish. 1 out of 10 ... 'cause even the artwork doesn't attempt to make it appear any better than it is. This is all of course IMHO. Ian (floe:MaddogMgmt.) >> Toronto'Ontario

Its MHO as well. I was really disappointed after all the hype on this thing. I would have rather them use a C64 to see what they could crank out of it. Mariopaint is a preset nightmare and is about as interesting as the tunes you get out of one of those old Casio musical calculators. Don't believe that I'm on an Irdial rampage. I really enjoyed their two disc compilation and I've always been an Aqua Regia fan.
