The problem with the box art and the lack of and weird promotion of the game at time of release came from a very bad marketing Vice President who was fired or left shortly after HOF was released.....and unfortunately it never recovered the attention it should have had at the time. It is a wonderful game and full of fun, beauty, whimsy and good solid adventure. One of the best ever classics. Glad to see people interested. The music on all the games is nice, my favorite remains the first one of the series, but I do like
Hand of Fate also. Some excellent puzzles in it, tough but not impossible, and they take imagination and perserverance. And the sequence that travels up into the mountains and the magical visionary nature of those screens is just amazing and very inspired!
