This was a game we owned when I was younger but I could never get running. I tried over and over because the manual made the world seem so interesting. I was fascinated and read it over and over, hoping the next time I tried the game would work. It wasn't until much later I was able to use the disc (that I still own) and DosBox to finally get it working and play the game.
Its not easy, and requires a lot of notes (or a very good memory) but still holds up as a unique experience in a strange world.
