I believe the object of the game is to complete the following tasks: 1. Find a woman and fall in love with her. 2. Cheat on aforementioned woman. 3. Run to the railway station in a desperate attempt to win her back. 4. Walk home in the rain after failing task 3 5. Down a bottle of whisky. 6. Slash wrists. 7. Put ridiculous electronic drum loops and electric doodling over the soundtrack.

Unfortunately, he gets killed off fairly quickly. Do you think the author likes or hates the band? http://akshayshah.org/knights/archives/202 "They don't have long to wait- Fernando Del Amitri is a fighter and a lover, a bounder and a cad, with an excellent pedigree and a great first line. "I am Fernando Del Amitri. I killed my father. Prepare to die." Cathal leaps down into the alley to prove his prowess, a test of arms, and steel, and grit, and other macho exhortations- he damn near breaks his legs and lands in a heap, prone before Fernando, who cuts him up a little, it seems he's not big on fair play. However before Fernando can really get to work Kullervo flings another dagger, and connects again; a moment later Ignaran conjures and a Wolf appears at Fernando's side. The Wolf stares at the Swordsman, the Swordsman stares back- then the Wolf does its best to eat the swarthy swordsman. A little later, still struggling with Wolfie, Fernando finds respite- Cathal finally gets to his feet and slashes through his armour and deep into his chest with his longsword, Fernando dies, it seems Cathal doesn't mind a bit of dirty fighting either." ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2009 12:05:54 +0000 From: "Joe Brady " Subject: Re: OV: Del Amitri - the game And you forget to add never brush your teeth. - ------Original Message------ From: Russell Taylor To: Oppositeview@smoe.org Sent: 28 Aug 2009 12:28 Subject: Re: OV: Del Amitri - the game I have played this game before.
