While we all love RPGs (we wouldn't be using and RPG maker if we didn't) we all have to 
admit that what were once the time honoured traditions of the genre have become something
of a cliche.  This is particularly true when we take into account the limitations of our
beloved RPG making programs.  While most peopel who use RPG 95 or 2000 try to inject
their own spin into the framework of the RPG Okelvin's game, Baldy's Big Day prefers 
to rip them to shreds.  This is RPG parody at its very finest! Not only does BBD snigger
over the cliches of the RPG genre it contains plenty of in- jokes that RPG 95 users will 
identify with.  While the game demonstrates a sound knowledge of RPG95 and its usage as well
as some very clever and original touches (the Cg movie sequences are particularly fun) 
it's the humour that makes this game great.  The humour keeps us coming back for more 
and makes us enjoy tasks and events that in most RPGs can be considered a chore.
The game is not perfect, but it is damn close.  The only criticism is the slow paced
opening stages of the game, and you don't get a feel that Okelvin becomes really confident
with his use of RPG 95 until well into the game.  However the real belly laughs and 
innovations come thick and fast in the second act and upon completing the game I was
genuinely sorry it was all over.  Definately a must for download!!
