I bought this game when it first came out - and even with the hint book, back in the day, when I finally caved and bought it - I still could not beat the game. Just before it became available here, I recently (two years ago?) gave it another try - and surprisingly beat it. This game is one of the most brutal (in terms of dead ends) of all the Sierra games. But, it's also beautiful graphically and musically (for it's time). Was glad to finally put this on my completed list. Purchased it here (along with all the other Sierra games, even though I own them) - because having them available on GOG is like having them on the cloud. I can just download and run them where ever I have an internet connection.
