I picked up Tekworld #1 eons ago, back when I was a young voracious comic book collector and would buy anything off the "New" shelf. I never bothered to read it...I figured it couldn't be worse than TJ Hooker, but it appears I was terribly mistaken. I'm sorry I contributed to this shitty franchise, I thought it would be worth a fortune when I got old (it's not).

Also, wrt:

I’m not sure how thankful I should be that someone made William Shatner’s TekWar more accessible to me, but at least I didn’t struggle with PGUP and PGDN to move my virtual neck.

Yeah, thank your lucky stars that gaming with a mouse became a fuckin thing, because hitting PGUP and PGDN to pan up & down sucked back then too.

This is why people should not be buying video games (or anything really) from a specualtive market standpoint. Buy what you like and enjoy, not what you think will make you rich later on.

You know what, you're right. I'll make sure child me from 30 years ago doesn't do it again.
