I can't believe I never played this
It's a terrible tragedy that I never played this game before. Really, at 37 I'm certainly old enough, and I've been playing games since my Apple IIC days in 6th grade, so there's no good excuse. I chalk it up to a traumatic King's Quest experience, the less said about, the better...
All I need and want to say is that this game has left me laughing out loud on multiple occasions. Games just don't have that effect on me very often, but the clever, weird, and often unexpected (meaning coming from unexpected sources) humor in the game had me just laughing and laughing on the couch.
There is no good reason not to play this game. None. Go. Play it. Live a little.
