The puzzles are great and the dialog is fun. The interface isn't top-notch, but at $35 for 5 episodes, this is a $7 game. At that price, it's a steal. I played on my home gaming pc (winxp) but I got it to run on my Mac under Parallels too. That means I'll be able to play through again when we go on vacation later this month.

All went fine until I tried to run, and then the *%#@&% SecureROM copy protection decided I was running SoftICE and refused to start the game. Oh well ...

I was initially pissed because their web servers were down most of the day due to the heavy load. But then I realized that if they were this busy and the game was popular, there will be more. I'm downloading as I type this. I can't wait to play it. I spent the day trying to download my copy. I was initially pissed because their web servers were down most of the day due to the heavy load.
