Man, I was really expecting to like this more. I had heard it was pretty legendary, and it's been a gap in my classic LucasArts experience. The art direction is great, the story is fine, but the design is unfortunately very obtuse.

I can deal with the shortcomings and quirks of the genre in general, but when you add in some other clunky mini games and some deaths with lots of repeated guesswork before them, it's pretty hard to look past. Thankfully the entire thing was surprisingly short.

In terms of the remaster, I mostly preferred the classic visuals, but I did switch to take advantage of the UI a fair amount.

Overall, not a waste of time, but a let down compared to its reputation.
