Excellent. Now I've got DosBox for my XP machine I must try firing up this classic again. (Last time I tried running it the music was all wonky) Talking about how the different time periods are used in puzzles without spoilers (excepting the minor one noted) was very impressive.

Do just have to mention one problem I had with the review. It's just a pet peeve of mine. (my emboldening)

Though common usage (bad common usage ) seems to have made this acceptable I've always understood unique to mean "being the only one" or "being without like or comparision" So either something is unique or it isn't. It can be almost unique, but it can't be "fairly one of a kind"

Cold Topic

A thread most controversial, that’s what I want to start
Full of impassioned arguments, of posting from the heart
And for this stimulation all will be thankful to me
On come on everybody it won’t work if you agree
