Great game. Cheeky and fun humor from Al Lowe once again.
I grew up on old games like this. Sierra, Westwood and LucasArts made a lot of great point-and-click adventures, and this one is no exception. The music is beautiful and fitting to the scene, the graphics (though dated now) are beautiful and inviting, and the voice acting is not bad at all. One refreshing thing about this particular point-n-click is the lack of a real inventory system, and no real "verb menu". No look, take, walk, etc. buttons, just click and double click. In place of a personal inventory, you use different spells you learn and jot down for each playthrough. (Some are known to be random for different playthoughs) While it does keep a rather serious tone, not having near the goofy comedy from Sam and Max or Monkey Island, it does have its charm, with an almost Terry Pratchett-esque dry wit. All in all, if you're looking for a classic from a legendary time in PC gaming, do not miss this one.
