Since it's designed as half of World of Xeen, it plays exactly the same as Clouds. Having 5 or 6 different musical themes for each type of location is a definite improvement -- and if/when you go back to Clouds, having that extra theme is a plus. It still has my favorite video game ending of all time -- I probably replayed the ending (all endings are available for viewing from the game's Start menu after you beat them) a dozen times the first time I beat it ~20 years ago.
