Reception
Richard A. Edwards reviewed Scarfman in The Space Gamer No. 54.[3] Edwards commented that "Unless you're willing to pay a high price for a remake of an old standard, pass this one up."[3]
gollark: This costs money *and* you have to carry it around.
gollark: This is slow and annoying compared to `cp -r`.
gollark: Equal/better how? I don't know about pen-capable ones, but there are some very cool developments nowadays with graph-structured note-taking applications. I am, very slowly, making one.
gollark: I mean, there's no search, backups are hard, you can't conveniently include nicely rendered diagrams, there are no links, you have to write text with a pen, storage actually costs non-negligible quantities of money.
gollark: Pen and paper are really quite bad.
