Summary

Milestone of Character Development

The Good

This was Steve M's first game, and Infocom's first game with a solid humorous narrative (as you can see by the package cover). More importantly, this game introduced Floyd, the sidekick you REALLY get to care about. The emotions I (and others) felt with this supporting character is legendary. This has to be experienced to be believed. I don't think anyone has come as close in any other game today.

The Bad

Outside of it being a bit easy, nothing.

The Bottom Line
