Saturday cute: ‘Lost’ as a 1980s computer adventure game

What if Lost were a LucasArts-style game from, like, 1987? From Penney Design. Click through for lots more “screens” from the “game.” (Got a photo or image that’s adorable and at least vaguely pop-culture related? Found such a photo online? Send a link or an image, and I might post it!)
