Excellent game!! You can play this dozens of times and it is never the same, due to the fact that events in the game happen both reactively to you and independent of you. The historical research, acting, and thought that went into this game sets it well apart from the average adventure game. If you are not ready to seriously use your brains, this may not be for you. For those of us longing for a true immersive challenge, this game is the ticket! Soooo excited BFG picked this up. This game was produced in the late '90s and suffered from bad timing. The entire marketing dept of the company quit, and the company was sold to a firm that was only interested in educational software. So, it won TONS of awards and acclaim, but was a commercial failure. I owned it back then and I am glad to see it here where it can be appreciated again!
