I first bought, and played, this game after reding a review in ST FORMAT.
In my opinion it was well worth the money as the solution could be reached in so many ways that having completed it once you could play it again with different characteristics and still complete it using a different strategy. (The same objectives having had to be achieved, but in different ways). A game that was well worth its price.
I used to love this game, one of the finest text based adventures ever. The characterisations and atmosphere were spot-on but it look a lot of determination to progress very far. I'll dust it off and complete it one day when I've got a spare week...
