    So far it seems like a decent game I owned for 19 years. I ignored it mostly, thus never knew a couple different things about it:
    One, I never know it was published by Simon & Schuster.
    Two, I never know "Skittles" were incorporated into the game.

    Not too bad of an idea if I say so myself. (wonder what she drank)?
    The game has a few problems, especially with vague puzzles & such, but nothing that's keeping me from playing this for another 19 years.    … Full Review »

All the I'd give it an 11 if it were allowed, quick wit and tongue in cheek humor made for more thought than brawn and i like that! All the controls were customizable so people who complain about the controls you've got options people! Also the skittles made it a little more fun and less guts....i like less guts!… Full Review »
