Yes, nijimeijer gets it!
Although today we view this as a pretty standard/boring early-Sierra (then “On-Line Systems”) graphical adventure, at the time the hype around this was i n c r e d i b l e. It came on not one, not two, but six double-sided floppy disks, the largest game (just in terms of ‘disk space used’ that I was aware of at the time and probably the largest ever released on the pre-GS Apple ][. It cost $100 (that’s over $250 in 2018 dollars making it possibly the most expensive computer game in history), and I never knew anyone who actually bought it. Its size made it not only inconvenient to play, but also inconvenient to pirate, although I am sure I saw it floating around at some point back then.
