Advanced Dungeons and Dragons fans, you have another excuse never to leave your parent’s basement! Master Roller Plus joins the legions of dice rolling applications, and offers basically one feature - the ability to roll a die with an arbitrary number of sides. Apparently there are also some “planned features” which are indicated by the disabled controls in the window. Oh, I am about to swoon from your hint about the wondrous “floating point die” that will soon be implemented. I am anticipating the next release of Master Roller Plus even more than 10.2.4!
After rolling a few dice, amazingly, the random numbers scroll out of view, and must be scrolled back in manually. Like a syphilitic wombat, the scrolling view returns to the top as soon as you roll another die.
Master Software, I don’t know what you crazed Australians like to waste your money on, but $50 AUS (158.13 Botswana Pula) seems rich for my tastes.
Given your insane price, and wonderful lack of features, Master Roller receives an 10.3. The only way it could climb further towards the coveted “11” rating, would be if it was implemented in REALbasic.

Syphilitic wombats do not roll dice. Nice try.
Posted by: mneptok on February 14, 2003 04:38 PMHow do you know if they roll dice, mneptok? Do you have a herd of them in your backyard? Did you at least try to give them the dice and show them how to roll?
I think your blanket statement expresses severe prejudice towards syphilitic wombats.

"Syphilitic wombats do not roll dice. Nice try."
This seems like creative misinterpretation to me. Surely you should be complaining that syphilitic wombats don't return to the top?
In any event, we all know that it's god that doesn't roll dice.
