Reviews

“Overall, Rex Nebular is a cute old adventure. The artwork is of course very 1992 but that's nothing to criticize in a 1992 game. What counts is that this a fun game - I found many of Rex's remarks and object and location descriptions very witty, even though not everyone might like Rex's kind of humor. But I did and that's why Rex Nebular and the Cosmic Gender-Bender gets an A- from me.”
