It is on Reloaded.

The only reason it's here is because it was here before Reloaded came into being.

This is crap, I cannot find the runtime package anywhere..why don't you fix the game archive by putting the runtime package in it? Tsk.

There is a Link in Review from which you can downloads to get the Game to run.

Don't worry, we have plans to include MS-DOS 6.0 and 6.22, an Intel 80486DX4 PC and electricity in all our archives. If you don't have much time to play games, we even will provide a gaming-experienced user to replace you.

That may in future be expanded by inclusion of a 3200 baud modem and an analog phone line.

This is not a Final Fantasy game, and the fact that the author calls it one is simple copyright infringement. It has nothing to do with Final Fantasy, it's not a Final Fantasy game, it bears no strong resemblance to a Final Fantasy game, it is not a Final Fantasy game.

I think the fact that it's a) on this site at all, and b) has an editor review of 5/5 when in fact it's complete badly-made crap, both say something very depressing about this website. Apparently if I took a crap in a paper bag, set it on fire, and called it Final Fantasy: Burning Poo, I could get it hosted here and get a high review. Maybe I'll go do that now.

Also, by all means, someone please attempt to explain to me how this game qualifies as either abandonware, or a classic DOS game. Or maybe I'm taking all the stuff about "why this website exists" too literally. Or maybe, on the other hand, someone is dropping the ball hardcore.

And If you dont know, Reloaded is the sister-site which hosts freeware games.

As for the review, thats a personal opinion.

As much as I agree with your point, the reviewer seems to have a slightly different opinion on the matter.

I think the fact that it's a) on this site at all, and b) has an editor review of 5/5 when in fact it's complete badly-made crap, both say something very depressing about this website.

Such as the fact I gave Absolute Pinball 2/5? Every reviewer has their own view on things. The review does not say much about the actual game itself, so it might be due for a re-review by someone else - preferably a person with a neutral attitude towards it.

Apparently if I took a crap in a paper bag, set it on fire, and called it Final Fantasy: Burning Poo, I could get it hosted here and get a high review. Maybe I'll go do that now.

You couldn't get it hosted here since 2005 or so.
And getting a high review anywhere does entirely depend on who is writing that review in the first place, you know.
One person might call a game the biggest pile of turd ever produced, another would call the very same game the best thing since sliced bread... and, as always, the truth would be somewhere in between.
