Summary
One of the worst, even for its time. Actually, ESPECIALLY for its time...
The Good
I liked the fact that people actually posed as the characters in this game. At the time, the fact that it was on CD-ROM seemed really cool.
The Bad
Just about everything. This attempt at an adventure game reminds me more of an early 90's "multimedia experience" (a la Groiler or the early install programs that had dissolves as transitions from screen to screen) because of the fact that you did more clicking and reading (the clicking always followed by a dissolve transition, the reading always followed by the clicking of a "next" arrow) than you did playing the game. Well, in retrospect, the reading and clicking WERE the gameplay, but when it debuted in a market full of games that managed to remain entertaining with a "click and read" interface, it paled in comparison ( I would rate it .09 stars out of 5)...so you can only imagine what's it like going back today and playing through it. Miserable. If you ever see this piece of coal next to a gem like Bard's Tale or Wasteland, flip it over...it's painful to look at this piece of garbage.
The Bottom Line
Trash. It's like playing an interactive storybook, but replacing the lovable cartoon animals with Area-51 commando's bearing super-soakers. I get the chills when I think about it...
