Its all my fault I'm the Cthulhu fan, the refs were my way of getting
stuff into the game that people who like or know Lovecraft's works would
recognise, resonance's - no more no less. It was never meant to be
really hardcore Cthulhu - publishers seem to hate that stuff.

I am unrepentant though and I plan on raping the mythos again.....

hehehehehehehe

TFTD came out on PlayStation and was a much better conversion that EU,
faster, faster loading, overall better recoding and some pretty tweaks -
plus a useable pad interface......
