One usually gets a weapon, medical first aid, a tricorder, and maybe some speciality gear. The puzzles only allow a single solution, which may be arcane or impossible if you miss one tiny point. Often there are false leads, and some hostile life form to complicate matters. Furthermore saving is sloooow. Weak graphics, early 256 color, I believe.
Contrast is often poor, important locations are nearly invisble because they blend in so.
My sound system isn't the greatest, but this game wasn't sharp. But it wasn't terrible.
