The Bad
Some of the puzzles were too difficult. Forcing me to get the invisi-clue hints that ruin the game because once you start you can't stop.

The Bottom Line*
Released in 1986. One of the first 'Adult' [non-strip poker] computer games ever. May pre-date 'Leisure Suit Larry'.

Has 75 Rooms, and 41 Objects ; recognises 978 Words ; and uses 13763 Op-codes to implement. You much remember this game was designed for a 300 kbyte 80'286 disk AFTER 'zipping' up the data.
