Ok I see, not sure if the "Mine! Mine! Mine!" passed me by then, maybe I'm too young at 50+!!
But I can absolutely 100% confirm that this game has been inspired by the Bard's Tale games!
when player make suggestions, it's not always wise to follow the desires of one player vs the entire player base, that being said, back in the dark ages of text based games, when color came out!! remember dot matrix!! there used to a silly chart someone made, that explained colors and color blind people, and what combination to avoid. Could not find it..but the blue dot, white direction finder, might the direction finder be changed to another color? I would put some thought into it before just changing it to please one player.. I am not color blind, just find it hard to see that line with glasses on old eyes.
