I remember everybody was drooling over that game and it's gfx which were outstanding on 16/32 bit computers during that 8 bit era.

I agree...wonderful (flickering) title screen and music. I was still very much into text/text-graphic adventures because of my C64 days. This was an upgrade of sorts and a game that both captivated me and kicked my ass. Like another poster said, I'd often be left wondering what the hell I was supposed to do next. Definitely a game I'd like to revisit in the near future. Really, what I got through was first rate.

I played this for many hours but I was too young those days. Later I have noted an interesting thing: the game has been published in year 1986 but it uses quite good digitized instrument samples on title music. Could this be the first computer game ever to use good instrument samples? That is possible. Defender of the Crown published in the same year has good music, but it uses quite poor instrument samples compared to this game.

I remember this game being one of the first adventure games to feature excellent graphics. It was also an intelligent adventure to play. But like many adventures it was very well possible to get stuck somewhere without knowing what to do next. But it gets a good score because of the novelty value.

Brilliant game, the graphics are crisp but there could be "more" locations with graphics. The game itself is excellent, some really curly puzzles and I confess I needed to do some Googling to complete it

Very atmospheric overall.
