Is it still worth playing?

A boy named Simon is transported into a parallel universe of magic and monsters in this 1993 point and click adventure for the Amiga and MS-DOS. He sets out to become a wizard and rescue another from an evil sorcerer. The setting parodies fantasy novels and fairy tales. The player moves Simon with the mouse, or by touchscreen in the mobile versions, between locations and gives verbal commands such as Look at, Talk to and Give. Most of the game is talking to people for information, hints or items, and using the right items to solve puzzles. A postcard in the inventory opens the menu for loading and saving, and a map there offers fast travel until a certain point in the story. A lighthearted evening with a parody of fairy tales is still a fine way to spend a few hours today.
