"Interactive Movie" was an oft overused term in the brave new world of multimedia. Over promising and under delivering. Then one game came along which changed it all, at least for me, and it's high time I went back to look again.

It promised the world, it had the potential to take on the Commodore 64, ZX Spectrum, BBC Micro and others, but it fell flat on its face. Why? Was it the hardware, was it the management? This new old stock Enterprise 64 gives us the chance to explore that question, and the machine.
