It wasn’t an RPG in its own right, but rather a horrendously complex combat system that could be incorporated in other RPGs. And being complex doesn’t justify being called bad – as long as you haven’t paid good money for it I suppose. To paraphrase Jessica Rabbit, “I’m not bad, I’m just written that way!”

I recall playing a few games with one GM who liked to use it just for the hit locations rather than any of the other mechanics.

Cheers
John
