[Bugs which now, I searched for still....]

	Marvel Comics recently contracted with TSR to write a
    Super Hero Role Playing Game.   Now after long time in waiting,
    the game is out, and it COMPLETELY lives up to my expectations:

		    IT SUCKS THE BIG GREEN WEENIE


	This game makes Tunnels and Trolls, Dungeons and Dragons,
    and Bunnies and Burrows, look like sheer gaming elegence.  The
    entire system devolves to one chart where you roll Characteristic
    vs Characteristic -- there is NO explaination of powers, NO ability
    to create special side effects, and NO room for expansion.

	The game appears to be targeted towards particularly
		stupid grade school students.

	If you see this book in a store, DON'T BUY.   If you are
    interested in a Super Hero Role Playing Game, buy Champions,
    SuperWorld, Villains and Vigilanties, or anything else.  I give
    you fair warning.
