Museum Madness

Screenshots1 / 2

A pixel-art scene shows a character and a blue robot standing on green grass in the foreground, facing a nighttime cityscape with a silhouetted building skyline. A large ornate telescope or observatory dome is centered in the background against a starry purple sky. At the bottom of the screen, a date display reads "12:30 3 31 2020" in a beige information panel. The right side features a small television monitor. The entire scene is framed with a decorative border in brown and gold tones, typical of early 1990s DOS-era graphics.
