The Good Old Days
Compared to Infocom's other games, puzzles are mostly on the easy side, and there's little room for interconnections of actions due to each path's shortness. On the other hand, characterizations of your hosts and the other guests are top notch and the basic story is as classy as it gets. A great Adventure game for newcomers to the mystery genre and a nice diversion for veterans who have already mastered Deadline, Suspect and Witness.

SPAG
Infocom's parser handles most tasks with ease. The writing tries to convey a sense of the castle, but fails. Much of the description is left to the tour booklet included in the packaging, so the game itself neglects to add those touches necessary to make the locations spring to life.
