It's a non-commercial game, so no. A screenshot wouldn't necessarily tell you much since it's primarily a text game (with illustrations).
There are two reviews in the January 2011 issue of Inside Erin (one of them written by me), if you want more information about the game.

I have been playing the game almost continuously for 10 days and would rate it as one of, if not the best, of GBs work. I don't think I have yet reached the numerous endings in the same way, so many subtle variations, one more minor extra to find tonight and back to SD3 next week.
The walk through in the thread is a great starter and is an intro. to the game but there is plenty of surprises waiting fo those who vary their play. I would have like to have seen your deleted guide but the Q & A 's throughout the thread filled the gaps.

Rgds.

I'd agree that it's the best thing that Goblinboy has written. In particular, his characterisation has improved immensely since his first games.

The walkthrough I wrote for Meteor can be downloaded from the aifarchive Yahoo group. At nearly 15000 words, it's a bit big to post here.

@ ExLibris
Read your commentary and found it very informative. Don't know what the fuss was about as one would have had try, at least, a stealth play to get the feel of the characters. Played your way with a few variations and surprise,surprise a few more scenes appeared at the end. I also halved my gameplay time by 1/3 by cutting to the chase.(age gap, in my day you skipped the preliminaries at your peril).

Thanks for your response and if you do have any similar commentaries on goblinboys' other games I would love to read them.

Best regards,

I'm having trouble even using the Interpreter for this game, let alone other games. Is there any step by step instructions on how exactly to use the TADS Interpreter to actually play games?

Just to clarify, the file you want is the Player Kit for Windows (assuming you're using Windows). Once it's installed, it should just be a matter of loading the HTML TADS interpreter and then using it to open the .gam file.

Wait, .gam file? I thought Meteor was a .rar file.

RAR files are a type of compression file. You'll need to extract the data from them, to make use of their contents.

For RAR files specifically, you can use WinRAR.
