Actually, Matt Greoning has parodied "Quark" on "The Simpsons" and "Futurama."

Banish all heretical graphical games to the fires of Hell!

Actually, I just don't see the need to add illustrations to the game. I loved it when it was released and it remains an enjoyable text-based game.

On the other hand, I am thrilled about the new remakes of my favorite early Ultima games . . . so I guess I can see both sides of the argument.

Maybe I wouldn't make such a good SlashPope after all. . . .
