  A somewhat hum-drum classic point-n-click adventure
  game from Microprose first released in 1993. Based on
  the "Phantom of the Opera", it has you face off against
  the eponymous villain. For its time, the visuals were
  quite nice but... well, Microprose adventure games were
  never quite up to the level of Sierra or LucasArts. The
  puzzles aren't that satisfying and the writing is mediocre.
  It's not a bad game, but rarely rises above average.
  Honestly, it's mostly a game for classic adventure game
  aficionados; if you're not into the genre already, it's
  unlikely this one will excite you.

I would've guessed ScummVM had this by now, but they don't!
