ehh.. last post was me BTW.

Man, this game rocks. Can't wait untill I can get the sequels to it. I loved the humor here, especially when they mentioned Tolkein. That was something. The only thing I did dislike is that you can't configure speed, speed of subtitles and stuff like that, but overall, this game rocks my socks.

Love this game . Especially StS2... I played it so many times and I never get bored. How sad, that now graphics is most important thing. I love the games made in a cartoon-style.

I have the demo where you can only go to the place to eat stew and theres a cave where I need a password... There is so many options to try but I think its just a gimmick...

This and Simon 2 are some of the absolute best games ever made!

Hey, im running this fine on DosBox under Windows XP, but I can't figure out how to save. anyone care to help?

ahh i figured it out. u use the postcard. LOL.

I can't believe nobody said this on 7 pages of a topic which expanded through 3 years:
THIS GAME IS A BAD MONKEY ISLAND CLONE, IT HAS NO STORY AND THE CHARACTERS LACK ANY CHARM. MANY OF THE PUZZLES ARE TOTALLY RANDOM AND THE GRAPHICS ARE MEDIOCRE. IT'S DRAWN LIKE A CHILDREN CARTOON, FOR GOD SAKE. Some people say even the sound is a bit annoying. I'm afraid to test it myself.
THIS GAME CAN NOT COMPARE IN GREATNESS TO MONKEY ISLAND 2, APPEARED MORE THAN 1 YEAR BEFORE, AND MANY OTHERS, INCLUDING THE MANIAC MANSION, INDIANA JONES, SPACE QUEST, KING'S QUEST AND LARRY SERIES, therefor its rating of "5 out of 5" is a highly unexplained mystery to me. Probably the only people who get close to this game are the ones who love it.
This is a case of "The Tmperor's New Clothes".
Simon The Sorcerer is a naked King.
Of course not everything in this game is bad, but the obvious rating would be 2 or 3, come on.

I humbly recommend to read this review to all the people posting before me on this thread:

You don't like this game, and thats fine, but this game isn't a poor mans Monkey Island, it is its own game. The control setup is the same as the Lucas Arts games but thats cause it is using the SCUMM engine, just like a lot of other games.

Maybe next time you play it, just enjoy it for what it is, and don't think about Monkey Island.

Simon: You could at least link to more than just one review and even if it has to be one, single review, perhaps not deliberately choosing the one giving the lowest score. The average moby score on the user review list is actually closer to 4 than to 2.5. Try not to be so selective the next time
