Together with Gerald Jay Sussman, Abelson developed MIT's introductory computer science subject, Structure and Interpretation of Computer Programs, a subject organized around the notion that a computer language is primarily a formal medium for expressing ideas about methodology, rather than just a way to get a computer to perform operations.

Alex Constantides of Computer and Video Games enjoyed the game's large environments, exclaiming, " You'll not believe just how huge the islands really are and, because certain elements are hidden at first, it'll take you months to see everything.
