While playing it, I found that I am much more impatient than I was as a kid. (Or maybe I was just mad at myself last night for staying up past my bedtime! I couldn't even get off the ship!)
As far as nostalgia trips go, it's pretty awesome, though. I am looking forward to playing the slot machine in that Star Wars cantina rip-off.

My problem is I'm just dawdling too much because I can't remember what to do. FYI: I had to consult a website with cheats, because there's something you have to do early in the game that requires the original Sierra game manual.

Some of the "humour" in these games that so amused 13 yr old @d@m is actually a bit lame, IMHO.

Like most of the early sierra games, this works fine (in colour!) on OS X with sarien http://sarien.sourceforge.net/. But it's nowhere near as good as space quest imho."

colonel's bequest from the GOG sale right? i haven't played that one.

iirc opening up that laundry chute was the very first way i died in this game, this being the first playable screen.

but really it's a super interesting game, a nice side-experiment in What Other Kinds Of Games Can This Interface Make?. replay is important and if you really want to nail it you have to do some kind of insane stuff of basically, when you figure out which event triggers the clock advancing, you should double back and make sure you've done all the interacting and eavesdropping you can manage in that earlier time interval. but it's all about dialogue and clues and shit; there are inventory puzzles but fewer than in a king's quest game. the vibe is so great in any case, the 'creepy evening on the bayou' feel really comes through.
worrisome stereotype alert though - i want to say they mostly steer clear of really terrible dialect stuff for the african-american cook character, but said character is obviously a problematic and creaky old type from the get-go.
