Touche: The Adventures Of The Fifth Musketeer - PC, 19/2/96

It's a sorry indictment on US Gold's decline that in a week when it should have been releasing the superb Terminator: Future Shock (lost to Virgin), all it has is this.

Yes: it's a creaky mid-80s-style adventure, replete with interminable conversations with innkeepers and some highly uneasy scaling and animation.

Pleasantly home-spun it may be, but so out of touch with today's marketplace.
