It's not worth the money - the story is simplistic to say the least, and 
the game is so bug-ridden that I was able to play only one of three 
characters. This game left such a sour taste in my mouth that I vowed
never to buy another Activision Infocom game again. There's none, absolutely
none, of the wit and clever humor that distinguished LGOP, and if LGOP2
wasn't a sequel it would have never sold a tenth of the copies it did.

If you want bawdy humor along the lines of the original LGOP, pick up
Meretzsky's Spellcasting Series - well worth the money and much closer
to what he did in LGOP.
