Hi, this is Justin Meisse, the bassist to the Garage Rats. Every work of art needs a forward by someone in the biz. Since we couldn't find anyone, I was chosen. It is rare indeed to come across a jewel like Stefan Meisse's 1994 classic, Caves. No game has found an appropriate use of the phrase "King Crap", or the menace of a killer pickle monster until the release of Caves. The gaming industry was rocked, Stefan bought a Ferrari, and all was quiet.
All good things are imitated, and Caves was no exception. Many spin-offs appeared in the next 5 years: Doom, Quake, Unreal, the Final Fantasy series, and the Batman movies. 5 years later, this classic is re-released for the public to witness the roots of all video games. Enjoy!
