Is it still worth playing?
Scott Murphy and Mark Crowe's 1986 graphic adventure for Sierra On-Line, the first Space Quest. You play a lowly janitor on a research ship who becomes involved in stopping an alien race that uses a new technology for evil purposes. It uses Sierra's AGI engine, with a pseudo 3D environment that lets Roger Wilco move in front of and behind background objects. You type commands into a text parser and move him with the keypad or arrow keys, with basic mouse support in some versions. It still has a character of its own, from a janitor for a hero and scenes you walk in front of and behind.
