Terrible
Not everything LucasArts touches turns to gold. This game came out, with zero fanfare, back in the mid-90s and vanished without a trace. It shouldn't come as too much of a pity, though. After all, not everything LucasArts touches is good, either.
Stick around for a few moments when the LucasArts logo appears and you'll see a little skit involving two villain characters - a slug, and the final boss. It seems the slugs hate skeletal systems and advertising, and so the logo is blown to smithereens for the sin of having both. Amusing, and the only time most players will see the final boss. But when your opening screens are the best part.
