I was playing this title at the tender age of 9, it was incredible I must have spent most of my time at the front door trying to find a way in, this game seemed to have puzzles that played on your mind for days on end.

The game play is smooth and moving through each particular room is executed nicely, the controls work well, there is no lag in the title, its quite impressive due to the amount of detail in the game and all of the work put into a game of such small capacity, with all the emphasis on the graphics of todays games there seems to be something missing, this game had everything anyone needed or wanted in a game of the early nineties.

All in all this game will last anyone at least 6 months, some of the puzzles will make you kick yourself afterwards, and the re-play value of this game is insurmountable. enjoy this game, it is the closest thing to the original Point and click game and the forefather of the genre.

An essential Buy.
