so... a game i always wanted to try, but never did know anybody that had it. I wasn’t familiar with it back in the 90’s, but when I learned of its existence, it was always on my list to try.
Fast forward a few years and i was traveling to North Carolina for work. Majors and I coordinated a meet up to laugh/cry/eat/drink one night. He took me to his friends used game store, then we hung at his place where I got to witness all the cabs and play some PCE. Low and behold, I see Star Parodier on the shelf and I immediately ask to play it. He says of course and I have at it. Before I knew it, 1a.m.had rolled around amd I was 2 hours from my hotel. Well, I called an uber and the guy thought he was driving me 20 mins until he realized which location it was. He says “get in, let’s go”. So about a half hour in, his wife calls and he puts her on speaker. They continue to yell, not in English and he seemed to abruptly hang up on her. Said she was upset he took such a long ride so late. He sincerely didn’t seem to care and he got me back just before 3a.m.
So that’s my story of Star Parodier. And let me add, I have sporadically looked on ebay for a copy at a reasonable price, but it never seems to happen when I look.
Anyway, this is all true and was a great PCE memory of first time playing it and meeting somebody from the forum.
