Early access? SOLD! I recall almost getting killed, literally after I bought BARIS in 1993. Hope this story isn't way out of place here. Played a couple of hours, had an absolute blast. Had a couple of brewskis as I played, called my friend and said wait till you see this. I'll bring it over now. I hopped on my mountain bike and headed over to his house which was a mile away. I got to a very busy intersection and looked both ways with all clear but never saw the car bearing down on me. It was a case of hit and run, I got knocked out for a half a minute, bleeding like a stuck pig ( ended up with 90 stitches) and left the scene walking over to my friends house walking my bike while the person that hit me stood gape jawed along with bystanders. I believe I was in shock. Anyway, I said as I walked in the back door of my firends house, you might need to take me to the emergency room before we play. He had a funny look on his face and said "have you seen yourself"? I said "no", he said "don't look, let's go". Long story long, I get home, bunch of stitches in my head, torn ligament in my elbow where my arm got ran over and I head down the stairs to play BARIS. I lasted an hour until the pain drove me to bed. After I recovered from surgery later that week I was back at it. I was that hooked. Played it to death after I recovered. Always think of what happened when I think of that fantastic game I so enjoyed.
