Wonderful game. I remained stuck here quite some time (trying to get the 'spheres aligned'), but didn't prevent me from enjoying it.

I really hate those damn disc puzzles. It always seems like the most logical thing according to Plato's Dialogue is NEVER the right way. I always end up having to spin them and guess.

There were a few possible variations on Plato's dialogue (and therefore the solutions). Some of them made perfect sense, but there were a few that seemed completely nonsensical! Even after arriving at the 'right' answer by trial and error, I couldn't see how it tallied with the Lost Dialogue.

Was this a bug or are we all just stupid? I think we should be told

Sometimes I spinned them and guessed. I tried every combination, and it took a hell of a lot of time, and none worked. I probably missed one accidentally, but I was always sure I had tried all combinations. That was usually in the map room.

I still love the game, though.

This one has 4,5 stars on AG, and the only con thing is that it's hard to play on recent configurations.
Well, with ScummVM that not only suppresses these difficulties, but also enhances the graphics, shouldn't it gain the missing half star?

I agree! Although this game never made it into my personal top 10, I still think it deserves 5 stars. This is one of the few adventure games that really has good replayability. It also has Indy

Or in german, 'Doktor Übermann' (I can't remember if they actually changed the spelling in the german version. It does make a difference. Because "Uberman" would be pronounced something like 'Oobermaan', with "Oo" as in "Cool", in german [The "aa" would be something to argue about. But basically "A" is a longer, and less pointy sound in in german. You have rounder mouth when saying it.]).

I think it's supposed to be "ü", and not "u", since it's a german name. By the way, Übermann = Overman, right? Hm.
