I miss those days of opening an adventure game box and finding it full of strange and fun odds and ends. I was amazed at the graphics of this game when it first came out and when I purchased it I was sure that the pictures on the box couldn't possibly appear on my humble computer..I mean we are talking a long time ago here! It's a great game with a fantastic atmosphere where things seem to happen even without your interaction. The only thing I can think of that isn't so great about it is that an early puzzle relies on you being in the right place at the right time and if you happen not to be, then you're absolutely stuck. The interpreter isn't great either - as mentioned in the review - but the language and amusing descriptions make this a game to savour and enjoy at your own pace rather than blast through trying to complete it as quickly as possible.
