DOS version

Best SQ game, and I replay it almost yearly

The Good
Amazing graphics, story, sound quality & humor (for it's time of course). The music totally blew me away, but it was also the first game I played with my brand new Sound Blaster card. I have the soundtrack on CD both from the Sound Blaster midi and from the original Roland MT32 midi.

The Bad
Perfect in every way, the only bad thing you can say about it is some poor programming decisions that cause a couple parts of the game unplayable on anything faster than a 486. Thank gosh that there are 3rd party patches to fix this now.

The Bottom Line
I'd say this is my 1st or 2nd favorite gaming experience of all time (this is in a tough fight against Hero's Quest 1). The humor was great and dastardly, tons of original ideas and very diverse story changes. The fact that I can reply this game every year shows it's virtually flawless and the original developers should be proud of themselves for making this game.
