I also remember playing this! And also remembering that it was soooooo scary!
But exactly as what point you take on later, I got stuck somewhere and stopped playing. That was often a recurrent situation in playing games. Im not that good in taking my losses and patient enough to try again and start over hehehe
Cool to hear that you played this too.
For me it's not just the patience thing but there's so much more to do and play that if I get stuck ( for too long a time), I will eventually pick something else.
