Lucasarts keeps it in print, so the abandonware sites won't touch it. you can find it thru the usual ways, of course.

(by legally obtaining it from the copywright holders blah blah blah)

The creator Ron Gilbert says he got the inspiration for the game from the book On Stranger Tides by Tim Power.

He wrote that one where dude goes back in time and switches bodies with a werewolf or something and becomes the poet he wrote his dissertation about, and he writes all his poems from memory because he studied his past self so much as an academic, plus he marries the girl he knows he's supposed to marry, and he knows exactly when she dies and when he dies and how, and can't change anything.

dude, i am soooo going to look for some of his stuff at the library today. filed under sci-fi or regular fiction?

I got no clue, I think in bookstores he ends up under fantasy/scifi though. Declare fucking rules
