Kinda sterile atmosphere, but rewarding

The Good
This is the one and only adventure I ever played where all puzzles were LOGICAL. I mean REALLY LOGICAL. You could turn away from the pc, ponder the problem and think "how would I solve this in real life" -- and it works. Well, most of the time. Unbelievable, how rewarding it is to solve a puzzle by thinking instead of trial-and-error... Another good point: in the middle of the game, your spaceship is attacked and trying to find a means to defend it, you find yourself in a little, but cool tactical space-war-simulation. Nice idea.

The Bad
The atmosphere was a bit sterile (well, you are on an empty spaceship), the actors (the actor of Star Trek's Worf plays a role) don't fit into the rest of the graphics very well. Later in the game, the puzzles get less interesting.

The Bottom Line
Good adventure, no highlight among Legend's other works, but solid, original and well thought out.
