Is it still worth playing?

Roger Wilco, now head janitor on a space station, is kidnapped by Sludge Vohaul, a scientist out for revenge, in this 1987 adventure. Vohaul plans an attack with an army of cloned insurance salesmen, and Roger ends up on his asteroid base above the jungle planet Labion. Everything is typed. Commands go into a parser that understands synonyms, and the action does not stop while you type, so in a tight spot you have to type fast or ahead of time. On screen, some objects are hard to make out, especially in CGA. A world that carries on while you type still makes a dangerous room a race between your fingers and whatever is coming.
