DOS version
It's Star Wars but you are not a jedi, you are the janitor.
The Good
This game is a humorous science fiction tale. You are Roger Wilco, space janitor & you must save your world from the Sariens. The pixel graphics are nice with several different locations to visit. Most of the puzzles make some logical sense & there are a few that have multiple solutions.
The Bad
There are the usual Sierra gotcha instant kills but they are not as bad as some of their other games. There are a couple of items that are very easily missed as they are almost invisible onscreen.
The Bottom Line
If you like sci-fi then this game will entertain you for several hours.
