As this is a text based adventure you shouldn’t expect any graphics nor sounds. The main charm this game has lies within the descriptions. Well, they really make you feel like you’re a part of the story. So the term interactive fiction really does apply. It’s a sci-fi story with which you can interact. It does have a large enough vocabulary for you to experiment and have fun with, but if you simply wish to get from the beginning to the end, you should look at the walkthrough (in the extras).

The game wonderfully recreates the feel of 30's pulp fiction, from
the swordfight on the hull of the Space Battleship (without spacesuits,
naturally), to the Sultan and other colourful characters you meet on Mars, to
the delightfully contrived situation at the South Pole, to the marvelous
running gag concerning the lucky escapes of your faithful companion. The
final scene where you try to assemble your machine while under attack by all
of the Leather Goddesses minions is one of the greatest moments in
interactive fiction, and one that would be utterly impossible to reproduce
with graphics.
