I remember borrowing this game from a friend and playing it, and the main thing that struck me about it was the writing. At times, it's silly and loves a groan-inducing pun, but the characters feel oddly grounded (which is saying something when some of them are, for example, vampires and alien cyborgs), and there's so much heart and empathy for them. The puzzles are also challenging enough to keep you engaged as you work through the story and interact with the world, and the graphics, though not crafted to impress, have a handmade style that feels as charming and laid back as a well-executed painting of dogs playing poker. Playing this game has the vibe of hanging out with your friends at your favorite cozy bar during a particularly challenging trivia night.
I bought this game in the 90s in Switzerland from a shop that had all the cool games imported from the US. By cool I mean the ones that had the ridiculous big boxes. I still have a image of that CD-ROM on my pc thirty years later but it would be nice to have a version that I can get to run without having to jump through a dozen hoops.
Uniquely idiosyncratic adventure games based on excellent books are a rare thing, and Callahan's Crosstime Saloon seems to be exactly that. Also, never managed to play this one back in the day. Also, also, everyone seems to agree that this is a great game in and of itself too.
