As a first-timer to this game, I wasn't sure what to expect. The game was certainly worth the few hours I spent playing on it, but I don't know if I would have been as pleased had I paid for it. Perhaps I'm just too used to modern P&Cs. Anyway, I still enjoyed the game due to its insane humor. The plot is hackneyed, the voice acting is mediocre, and the score is grating, but the art is lovely, especially when taken into context for the time, and the aforementioned wacky humor is also a big plus. The game is a bit too hard for my taste, but the included walkthrough helped me through any rough patches I encountered. Worth playing; not a game to add to my all-time favorites, but good.
