Game-a-day #65...Tass Times In Tonetown


What does it mean to be tass?  It means "cool" in Tone Town, and that's just what this game is.  "Tass Times" is like a weird playable 80's movie.  The story revolves around a transdimentional device, a talking celebrity dog, and a relative named Gramps.  This game is totaly awesome, it's a mix of the old text adventure with a clickable interface and comprehensive inventory and movement.  It's a rather advanced game for the C64, and it plays quite well.  The VERY 80's themes of punk rock and new wave are a big part of "Tass Times" and they are particularly genuine as the game was released in 86.  As far as 80's computer games go, this is where it's at.  I find it extremley fun because of the nostalgia it brings up and because it's very player friendly with all the clickable stuff, and the great graphics.  If you were born after 79, mabye you won't get this game.  I mean my sister was born in 84 and she doesn't like "Lost Boys"... nuff said.
