I read Effinger's trilogy before I played this game and it was fun to experience the developers adaption of the writing. This game along with Neuromancer were my favorite science fiction games before System Shock.

Tsarevna: A Medieval Russia Quest
Tsarevna: A Medieval Russia QuestBob Bisquit is an American on a quest to win the heart of a beautiful Russian princess. Only the one who will find Tsarevna's real name can marry her, and thus Bob's journey begins. Tsarevna is a puzzle-solving point-and-click adventure game, with cartoon-like 2D graphics reminiscent of the first two Monkey Island games and other adventure titles of the early nineties. Puzzle solving is not the only aspect coming into picture in this game; players also get to take a look at life of a medieval Russian city (based on true historical facts!).
