Reason It Could Make Top 100: It’s a point-and-click adventure game, and I love games that are mind over reflexes. Unlike King’s Quest V, it wasn’t a port, but designed specifically for the NES.  The graphics look amazing.  The game allegedly has great humor.  And unlike most adventure games, there is more than one way to get to the end.  In other words, your decisions matter.

Reason It’s Not There Yet:  I would really need to invest hours upon hours into this game, and I don’t have the time, especially without the use of a mouse.

Questions for Readers:  Anyone play it?
