i still think about this game from time to time, which is a testament to the writing team. i'm sure this will be held in much higher regard in the coming years. everything that came after this game sucked though.
this is how culture works, the breakfast club was cool and then cringe and then became cool again, it's all cyclical. I think from a game mechanic and storytelling perspective it's a really good teen time travel graphic adventure game, and from a cultural perspective it's lame now but in 10 years, it'll probably be cool again. Cringe done well eventually crosses over into kitsch, to me this is already in that territory.
