Summary: Who's kidding who?
Review: This is a perfectly dreadful game. The characters are awful. I got to the point where I couldn't stand any of them. There are long sequences where you have no real choice but to listen to them make idle, idiotic conversation. The game play was agonizingly slow and buggy. I played it out but was deeply disappointed by the whole thing. Yuck!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: excellent adventure game
Review: This is an excellent adventure game. The story for the game is awesome, the game boasts of writing credits from Steven Spielberg. You play the commander of space shuttle send on a mission to divert an asteroid on a collision course with the earth. But this is no regular asteroid, play the game to figure out what it really is.

Even though the game is old and the graphics are outdated, the suspension of disbelief in the story more than make up for the graphics. Even though, the animation is great for the games of that era. The puzzles are considerable harder than most other adventure games I have played. If you can go through all the puzzles without even getting a hint once then either you are a genius or have become so frustrated that you have actually tried every possible option.

Overall it is a great game, even in this age! And it does work on XP.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: One of the best Lucasarts Games
Review: This is really a good game, this game is a "society" between Spielberg and Lucasarts, it is written by Spielberg and developed by Lucasarts, the result is a very well done story in which you get trapped from the very beggining. The plot of the story is one of the best I've seen. The ending of the story is totally unexpected for the gamer, so it is highly recommended although it is a first generation game from Lucasarts. I think this game is a must have for a hardcore gamer.

Rating: 2 stars
Summary: Disappointing and tedious
Review: This particular game began with promise of excitement and challenge, but got old very quickly. I found myself frustrated and bored. I finally had to resort to cheat notes on the web, and was relieved to get to the end of the game. With all of that brain power and creative genius behind this game, my feeling is they could have done much much better. I would suggest not settling for gaming that is this mediocre!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Great game!, Original, and thrilling.
Review: Well, I ended this game in 4 weeks playing on weekends only, I loved the music; and I recommend you the soundtrack also. This game requires a big imagination to solve the puzzles, and it took me right in Boston's shoes and I almost shared his mood.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Very Cool
Review: What's these comments I hear about this not being cenamaticly paced?? come on, this is a puzzle game. I liked this because of the fact that you can't mess up & you can't die. Almost like myst in this regard, execept there you can mess up, but then the game stops. But, the puzzles aren't brain wrenching like myst. You just try different things until it works. Can't figure it out? let someone else play with it for a while. (that's how I figured out how to turn the power on.) I thought this had rather good voice acting as well. Very sci-fi, a little bit errie, and great graphics (at least at the time). I wouldn't know where it sits now on graphics since I played it when it came out.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Another LucasArt masterpiece
Review: When I first saw the front cover of the box, I wasn't very interested at all because the cover looks so unattractive. But as a Lucasart adventure game loyal fan, I decided to buy it.
The graphic was okay but the puzzles were very hard dude! But I enjoyed it every moment even though my brain was about to explode hehehe....
I finished the game fair and square (no cheat). If you like puzzle-adventure type of game, then this is the right game for you.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Cool game. Great music!
Review: You are commanding a shuttle mission to divert an asteroid before it hits the earth--and this is years before Armageddon/Deep Impact! Once you stop the asteroid, you discover an ancient ship--and you've just hit the ignition. I found this to be a very pretty game, with some excellent voice-acting and fantastic orchestral music. Some of the puzzles were hard, but I felt a real sense of accomplishment when I finally solved them, and brought ancient technologies back to life--just call me Scotty!
