    Hahaha, I think I've played almost the exact same game a dozen times under different names. Seriously, how many times can you through airships and air pirates into a game?

    my 50 cents: you guys rock, reCAPTCHA sucks, childhood in Grandpa's basement all too common these days

    HEY! What about fighting the dragon on top of a remote mountain to retrieve the magical key that opens the way to the bathroom. But to face the dragon, you need weapons in which, you need money. And to make money, you must fight monsters who carry coin and and and... C'mon, SOMEONE has to remember that wonderful PSM comic they did in their mag!!!
