Is it still worth playing?

The main goal is to find Sam's mask, flashlight and lunchbox, which are scattered around the Land of Darkness, in this 1996 point and click adventure for Windows and Macintosh. Beating the game once unlocks alternative paths for the lost items. An optional sidequest asks for ten pairs of socks belonging to Sam's family, hidden in various places. There are also a few minigames, some optional, such as Nuggets, a mine cart arcade game, and some required, such as The Brain Tickler, a quiz show that opens Darkness's basement on completion. A game with a sock hunt and a quiz show is an easy one to share, and it still is today.
