it is a fun game to play, despite of it's release many years ago, but you know oldies are goldies! and I enjoy this type of games, and I recommend it!

Really nostalgic game in my book. The difficulty of the puzzles is really high, if you choose not to see a walkthrough. After all, a funny game with really interesting background stories from some of the ghosts.
Thought I liked it, but then the game crashed when I beat a level. It's buggy, so we're not friends anymore.
