The Manhole – An adventure with no end and no goals

At some point in the late Nineties I bought a copy of Duke Nukem 3D on the Sega Saturn. During the train journey home, I went through the usual ritual of poring over the back of the box and reading the instruction manual while anticipating the moment I’d finally get to play. Except this time something was different. Tucked into the manual, poking out from behind the Duke was another CD. It was Myst, the world famous adventure puzzle game that had sold a million CD-ROM drives. I knew exactly what I had to do. I took the CD out of the case and wisely left it on the train for another passenger to deal with!
