Pass for me since I am not into adventure games. This should had been in adventure newsgroup too. :)

I was actually thinking of you when I saw this game. I said Ant would
probably skip this one if he beat me to it since he does not like
adventure games.

When I switched from the C64 to a PC, I am pretty sure the very first
game I purchased with my own money was King's Quest IV and my Sierra
games collection grew from there. Although, my first adventure game
was actually Maniac Mansion on the C64.

I never played that one. I did see videos.
