You know what? I may as well ask about this game.

Let's see what I can even remember about it. Goodness, I last saw it. . . what, when I was four? And on such ancient computers.

It was a bit of a mini-game. . . game. It wasn't an english version at any rate, being that everything was in Japanese. The player had a giant pot of various fish parts and two-or-so "Redheads," as I call them, in it. The player was riding. . . something, either a little tube or a seahorse of some sort with the pot chained to the back of whatever they were transporting themselves on. You had a long bar along the top of the screen as a sort of timer. By pressing SPACE, I think, you brought your hook back up to bring in various fish and whatnot. Grabbing good fish (such as the yellow fish that were prevalent) would increase your score and timer. Grabbing junk or bad fish (the purple with green polkadots fish come to mind, being palette swaps of the yellow) would decrease your timer. Sometimes a large amount of one fish or another would swarm across the screen. The player character (I suppose) looks like a red-haired robot, but I was little back then and you know how looks can be deceiving.

That is all I can remember. It probably doesn't even run on computers these days. But. . . oh well.

Just recently watched The Hobbit. Great movie. Naturally, I had Dwarf Fortress thoughts running through my head the entire time.

Too much, I think. Maybe one class-specific Psi skill, but not whole trees.

What I'd like is a skill tree for SHIVs. They aren't useful enough as they are.
