Nostagia!!!

Wow! I haven't played this game for at least 20 years. Bought it on a whim and can't stop playing it. The music, graphics and sound effects are so nostalgic. Still a great game, would highly recommend.

Fun fun fun fun

Nostalgic fun. Remember to use pull down menus. This is an old school game for you new comers. Ta gots ta do a bit of poking around and use your instincts, but I think you will be pleasantly surprized if you try it.

Wonderful

Still enjoyable to play after 20 years! It comes with the original PDF manual, info sheet and Editor. Great! The game runs flawlessly on my 2010 - 27' iMac.

But the music...

Like mentioned by lots of other people, this is one of the best games ever made. But I have to recommend to all of you (especially players new to this game) - deactivate the music in game and search the Adlib version of the soundtrack on youtube and play the game with that. The Adlib / Soundblaster / FM-Synth emulation of DosBOX is pretty bad and doesn't nearly reproduce how the music was intended to sound. Do yourself a big favor and play this game with a recording of the soundtrack from an old adlib compatible soundcard.
