Is it still worth playing?

Roberta Williams directed this 1992 adventure game, with Jane Jensen co writing the story. The player travels across five islands, named Crown, Wonder, Sacred Mountain, Beast and Mist, solving puzzles with items and spells that are cast through icons. The cast is voiced by professional actors. Many puzzles have more than one solution, and the game has two main endings, with an optional quest that leads to the better one. It is also possible to get stuck, and the included guidebook is needed for the Cliffs of Logic puzzles. With several routes through so much of it, a return trip now can turn up something missed the first time.
