I love this game. It was... weird, so the ambiance, story, characters were very ifferent from the usual stuff of other tropes of the day. Great mechanics, one had to choose the right color ball to regenerate, hit the foes, etc. And the idea of a real 3D maze made with 2d graphics still puzzles me. I really don't know how they made this game, specially in a 64k RAM computer!
Lucasfilm Games were one of the best publishers back in the day. Highly inventive, great graphics and weird theme or atmosphere.
Highly recommended!
