Player Reviews
Average score: 3.9 out of 5 (based on 14 ratings with 2 reviews)
Interesting, at the very least.
The Good
While AFAIK not being the first ever CD-ROM game, it's definitely one of the first. I got this with the Creative Multimedia Kit (1x caddy-based CD-ROM drive, Sound Blaster Pro and software, some of which I still use to this day) and never got much of a chance to play with it (it disappeared a while later), I remember the full motion video which dazzled me, and the sound quality which was amazing for the time.
The game itself is also quite good (as far as I can remember...), but since I got this at 1993 (I was 9) it was very difficult for me to play it.
The Bad
Completely unreplayable.
The Bottom Line
A neat little game which is now completely outdated.

A early example of what made CD games popular
The Good
The fact that it was at a decent FMV game, most FMV games that came later were either decent (Rebel Assault) or rather dull (Braindead 13)
The Bad
Once you complete it, what's the point of doing it all over again. Also the difficulty is high, which makes playing it again doubtful.
The Bottom Line
A decent FMV game which was very different for it's time
