Mis-spent youth

As a young lad I was hopelessly hooked on this game at the time. It was fiendishly hard, I used to try and have some game time on many occasion. In the short time between me coming home from school, and my father coming home from work and booting me off the computer.

The music was on a short loop but was still good for the time and fitting for the theme of the game. The layout of the game was very cleverly thought out and the rooms where interesting and varied.

I personally found a strong urge, to not so much collect the items scattered around the house as the instructions suggested. But rather move from room to room exploring miner Willy's entire mansion seeing what new and strange places are out there.

Gameplay over graphics wins every time for me.
