Runs well on modern hardware.

Despite the developer Ragnar Tornquist going off the deep end recently, this will always remain my favorite game of all time. I have played this many times, even before getting it on Steam many years ago. There is just something special about April Ryan and her journey.
Peak classic point and click adventure. Of classic point and click adventure games, this is the crown jewel. ---{ Gameplay }--- Peak X Great Good Meh Watch water come a to boil instead Makes your body convulse ---{ Graphics }--- This is reality Beautiful X Good (for the time) Mid Bad MS-DOS Eyes Bleed ---{ Audio }--- Transcendent X Great Good Mid Bad I am now deaf ---{ Computer Specs }--- Check if you can run Paint X Potato Decent Fast Rich boi Ask NASA if they have a spare computer ---{ Difficulty }--- Just press 'W' Easy X Normal Significant Effort Sifu NES Hard ---{ Story }--- No Story Bad Average Good Great X It'll change your life ---{ Game Time }--- Long enough for a cup of coffee Short X Average (but rather long for a point and click adventure) Long To infinity and beyond ---{ Bang For Your Buck }--- It's free! Worth more than the price X Worth the price Not quite worth the money Asking double or more what it's worth If you are The Joker and ran out of lighter fluid ---{ Bugs }--- X Never seen any Minor bugs Can get annoying Rather Glitchy This game is a big terrarium for bugs ---{ 10 / 10 }---
"Longest" does not do this justice. Imagine the longest journey you can imagine. Then up your estimate by about 150% as most of the puzzles are impossible. And then there is somehow a part two. It's very, very, long.
