Triggers some of my favorite childhood memories of my father. I occasionally watch LetsPlays just to feel those memories again. Would love to have the actual game working. Insta-buy.

One of the first games I ever bought. Not sure I ever beat it. Would love to have it to play again. Please make it happen. I need 160 characters but I'm not there yet. Tia taerereeeeea
This game came with a multimedia pack our family got with a computer back in the 90s. I think it might have been a Macintosh performa, but not 100% sure of that. I have such fond memories of playing it and enjoying the puzzles and story and it was definitely a first dive into Sci-Fi genre when I was a young boy. Bring it back please! I would love to play it again.
