Classic Game I never beat in the 90s
Although it has some annoying things like glitching where people/items move locations are do not appear like they should...it is easy to see why Sierra made some of the greatest games of my childhood.

Masterpiece!
One of the best Sierra games of the past. You play detective, not so manu puzzles to solve, observation is king!

One of the greats
Although tricky at first, once you get tha hang of it, the game is really engaging. The puzzles at time are a bit difficult, but that's often because you have a much more options than in games of that era. The time mechanic is an intersting one. You can miss some things in the game owing to it, but its not a detriment - I actually think it increases replayability.
