I've never owned a mac unfortunately but used to salivate over screenshots of this game in computer mags years ago. At the time I believe it was revolutionary in that you could do whatever you wanted. You could just mess about or you could try to "solve" the game. I'm just wondering was it any good at the end of the day?

That game is over 20 years old! A friend bought it and it was absolutely revolutionary at the time - he was totally addicted to it and always finding new things you could do. There was no goal to the game you could just wander about and interact with objects in each surreal scene. The best way I could describe it is if you imagined a Monty Python intro as a computer game.
