1 To my mind, although the are good pictures and very quickly drawn, they're quite unnecessaryas the text is wonderfully descriptive and atmospheric.

1 All in all, this is a very play-able game - not too difficult for an experienced adventurer, with interesting location descriptions and a SCORE facility, so you can check your progress.
