speaking of which, tonight Tim Pool said he agrees w/ Hitler's argument that Jewish Germans weren't *actually Germans*, or not "ethnically German," as he put it. You know, just not darn aryan enough

It was one of 4 games that I owned, and it was my first grudge game that I saw through and beat just to spite it. I think I was just mad because the concept and cover art were way cooler than the actual game's janky play
