Great game, absolute classic - loved it. I played it once a while ago on an old computer and have been looking for a downloadable version ever since. It draws you in, and it keeps you until the end. The puzzles are not too hard, nor too easy, and there is a real sense of achievement when you work things out, especially if they have been defying you for a while.
There are some cinematics which are great for their time, and the whole game leaves a good impression on me.

There are some cinematics which are great for their time, and the whole game leaves a good impression on me. The plot is a lot better than a lot of modern games, which might just use it as a loose excuse for a gunfight. Whilst the action can be fun,
it is refreshing to return to a game with a decent plot to back it. Having said that, there is some degree of action in this - you throw grenades, evade and outwit terrorists with battery-powered light-warping belts, fire high-tech guns at robotic spiders, foil an evil plot by a corrupt Heechee politician, and prevent the capture of a spaceship by the same terrorists from the beginning. Things are sometimes timed - of course if you don't get to the ship in time you're dead. The beginning is action packed, the middle is mysterious and enthralling, and the end draws everything to a good close and leaves you with a feeling of achievement.
I strongly recommend it to any gamer willing to let go of graphics to play a very well put together game. Once again, an absolute classic.
