Next to Indy and The Dig this one of the best point and click adventures of all time! Packed with humor, dry and otherwise, this game will have you laughing out loud at times. With the multiple walkthroughs available out on the net, there is always help when you are hopelessly stuck(and you will get that way at times, I can guarantee you).

Getting it to run:

Difficulty: Tedious
Configuring iShock: N/A

Another trip to installation Hell. First off you must find a floppy drive that will accept the older Mac disk format. About the only thing that will nowadays is an older Macintosh. Now, unless you are Billy Badass with the Mac, networking the two is not an option so that leaves the internet. About the only thing that I have found that will still work with 68k Macs, and is readily available is AOL. I hate AOL, but thank God my girlfriend is too stubborn to discontinue her account. So:

* Insert the disk and email it to yourself; do that for all three of them.
* Once you have them both on your Mac, unstuff them one at a time.
* Grab all of the Install files and put them in the same folder.
* Select ALL THREE of them, and open them.

What this will do is automatically install the game, going through all three of the installers without asking you to insert the next disk(which will stop you dead in your tracks if you are on an iMac).
Learning from your own mistakes is an incredible thing, and after doing each and every one of these I think you will find much enlightenment in what I like to call:

Tips to avoid feeling like a complete jackass:

* Set your monitor resolution to 640X480 before you start the game.
* In the Options menu, be sure to turn the Music Quality up to "Best".
* Check "Large" in the Window menu for bigger graphics.
