Have you ever had that game(s) that you just really wanted to like but couldn't it? Well this was one of those for me. Before I forget... played on a Win 7 32-bit OS, all 6 games played, sound, (insert usual computer specs that make me sound like I have best gaming rig ever or it's only a step up from grandma's dinosaur computer you stole from the nether regions of her basement)... blah blah.. it plays just fine for me.

Collectively, these games' initial learning curve is significant if you haven't played the style-genre from this era. The manual is useless. Seriously, google the games on gamefaq.com or watch some gameplay videos at youtube.com. If you do youtube approach, stop after you get a sense of how to interact with everything. The core mechanice / fun of these games is discovery.

The humor is also a bit odd. The more you are into "Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy", "Dr. Who" style of humor mixed with Star Trek / Star Wars; the likely you are to love these games. The premise of the games is awesome. The hero / protagonist of the game is a janitor. As opposed to, you are some orphaned child who grows up to be the guy that saves the world after finding out his parents are some god / king. Better yet, someone who has this tragic backstory to overcome… aka Mommy and Daddy died due to some terrible, natural disaster (planet blowing up); killed by some evil (shot by random person A outside of a movie theatre) or (insert your favorite character defining moment here).

While I love the new BBC Sherlock and the humor in it, I couldn't get into this game.

So in short... plays fine on Win 7 32-bit OS with GeForce GTX 960. If you like British style humor and are willing to invest to get past the initial learning curve... this probably a great game for you.

If not... buy the game, try and request a refund in less 2 hr gameplay if not for you. This way if you ever are confronted by some retro-enthusiast and they ask you... did you ever play "Space Quest"... you can say "yes" and they will leave you alone. If you don't answer "yes", be prepared to endure while they express all the virtures of this game and why should play it otherwise you will die a terrible, horrible death because you never had this one game experience. Nevermind the myriad of required, retro game experiences that you absolutely must have besides this one in order to not experience before mentioned death.
