Way too slow.  I played about 20 minutes and left.

Very good game, but with a major problem.  It doesn't end when it
should.  After a while, you end up mindlessly clicking on the screen.
Finally you decide to get a life and throw it away.

Here are my favorites:

Zak McKraken and the Alien Mindbenders - The best graphic adventure
comedy ever written.  (And the best Amiga game too.)

Stunt Car Racer - awesome 3d car racing game.  Unique.

Millenium 2-2 - solar system exploration/futuristic/plays like a book
		very interesting!

Wayne Gretzky Hockey - best sports game. period.
