The Special Edition graphics look awful, but at least you can switch over to the (very charming) original look of the game. No matter how it looks, though, definitely one of my favorite point & click games of all time, and despite being over 30 years old, the humor still hits just as well now as I'm sure it did back then. Also a lot of fun to experience the game for the first time in many years since I did not exactly remember every puzzle solution so there was still a lot of fun discoveries and having to actually think about what I was supposed to do at times, but with the added bonus of at least remembering the broad strokes of most things so I never really got stuck. Not that tSoMI is a particularly cruel game anyway, usually being pretty logical and even when the solution can feel a bit obtuse, the game is really good at giving pretty clear nudges along the way for most of the game. Probably not my favorite in the franchise, but there's something special about it that was just never replicated, and I'm not really sure what. Maybe the high energy enthusiasm it exudes? Not sure, but whatever the case may be, still an absolutely fantastic little adventure that somehow never seems to age, and with a fantastic soundtrack as well!

Controlling the pointer with a controller rather than a mouse certainly isn't ideal by the way, but it works decently enough.
