Way back when, in 1992, Westwood Studios tried something a little different. They had been known as competent designers of games, in all sorts of genres, but they hadn’t really had a big hit yet, and they were only ever credited as a designer while another company’s logo graced the box. But their acquisition by Virgin Entertainment opened a door for them. Now, they were able to distribute and market their own games. And their debut adventure title was a beaut.

The last time I ended my narration on a cliffhanger, promising a grisly death scene - however, that was only half true. But more about that in a while. When we last left the game we were busy collecting items to build a Leyden jar and subsequently conduct the famous Kite/Key experiment in order to get Ben Franklin out of his cozy hot tub. On the surface of it he promised to help me with my experiment if I topped up his tub with some hot water - however, my secret agenda is to get the man back into science, obviously.

Last time, I left a little grumpy and stuck. I slept on it and was able to make some progress in the game.
That’s the good news. The bad news is that I discovered one of the most annoying game mechanics ever, that, to the best of my knowledge so far, is only in the game to lengthen it. Or, maybe just the author is a sadistic jerk. I’m hoping it’s the first choice. But we’ll get there soon enough.

Shortly before the ending of act 2 the game switches back to Lockjaw who's still serving time as a playdoll for the spoiled daughter of the Pugh family. There's a brief cutscene showcasing Lockjaw's torments at Ima's hands (and voice, particularly) before we get to take control of the dog once more.

In the introduction, I started to explore the game world and landed in the afterworld. So let’s start again. I start out on the same path and go exploring.
