No matter how many times I play this it never gets old, Ron Gilbert is an absolute genius and one the greatest designers of all time. Doesn't hurt he's got Tim Schafer and Dave Grossman co-writing and designing this one with him too.

This was my first time playing through the original 16-colour floppy version all the way, probably my preferred version now, though the added ambience in the CD version is welcome due to the lack of music through much of the floppy versions. The EGA graphics still look great, while the 256-colour version can look a bit bland at times and the special edition too far removed from the original art, though I can't really complain about the sound in any of the PC versions.
