Tim Leary's Mind Mirror

This classic DOS app was brought to our attention by Joonas, and to give you a basic idea of what it's all about, here's the summary from the download page:

The one and only computer simulation designed by Timothy Leary, one of the world's leading psychologists, is an interesting program that lets you rate any person, then map the results and evaluate them. Part game, part tool, and part philosopher on a disk, Mind Mirror is a fun party game similar to Scruples! that will reveal some surprising conclusions about your family and acquaintances. The "Life Simulation" mode is interesting, albeit giving you only a passive role.

True to Leary's character, Mind Mirror is one of the most unique games/programs you'll ever come across. While it doesn't offer much adrenaline rush, its emphasis on real-life issues gives great insight -- for both your life and the philosophy of Leary himself. Two thumbs up!

I received a good impression from this game, especially because it´s "serious" psychology wrapped in good humor. If you got some background knowledge of Leary´s ideas and general biopsychology, it can be a surprisingly instructive game.

Did anyone give this a try? If so, what's it like? I can't get it to run so far, might try DOSbox.
