THIS GAME IS A WORK IN PROGRESS
ALL INFORMATION IS TENTATIVE

Alan Caudel's experiment with various advanced techniques, including pipe dynamics, destructible bridges, and Active Time Battle style RPG mechanics. In addition, the palette is deliberately constrained to NES specifications.

There are actually at least four incarnations of this game (including Man Game, ManGame Stairs, and Bionic ComMANd), of which Man Game RPG is perhaps the most definitive. Each variation has its own individual experiments to conduct.

A discussion of the precise techniques at play will follow.
