Elvira is actually pretty neat. It's a huge game (5 disks) with good
graphics, sound, and gameplay. A good combination of adventure-game with
hack-and-slash. Much better usability and ergonomics than the Ultima
series, Phantasie, and Wizardry, for example.

Unfortunately, it's too easy. There are a couple of annoying puzzles that
you have to struggle against, but it's mostly pretty straightforward.
