such is true with this new thing...
River City Ransom (a text-only, play-by-play account of the 1989 video game, as played by some guy.)
as a kid in the 80's, i spent a decent amount of time with the nintendo entertainment system, but somehow missed out on river city ransom. then a few years ago, when i was on tour with the Mean-Agers, Mean Chris turned me onto the game at a place we were staying in Pittsburg.
personally, i thought the game kinda sucked, but it was really funny and i loved how excited Mean Chris was about it. earlier this year, river city ransom seemed liked the perfect target for this project...
a text-only play-by-play account i wrote of watching the game being played by some dude from beginning to end. all written in that weird monotonous phrasing and pace that i use to chronicle action packed stories.
the physical product, at least phase 1, is now completed as a super limited edition handmade book.

River City Ransom is one of the best 8 bit games of all time. I can't see how you can say it sucked at all. The cult following has been so profound that they are finally making a sequel for it, nearly twenty years later.
