Summary

Perfect re-mix of a common solution.

The Good

I enjoyed the presentation and gameplay SQ3 offered. It was a perfect mix of humor, sound, story, and gameplay. Even though it by no means unique or groundbreaking, it provided me with a couple of weeks of solid entertainment 15 years ago!

The Bad

The fact that it was not original or groundbreaking would be the only thing I could think of to knock this game-- it truly was top-notch for its time.

The Bottom Line

Your standard text-driven graphical adventure game-- a mix of attributes widely used in mid-eighties to the early nineties computer games. What's not standard about it is how well it was put together.
