(re: re: re: King’s Quest 6, and illogical puzzles… (mini-spoiler)) I always made sure to get the hint books with a game, knowing at some point I would get stuck! I still do that to this day.
Nothing worse than getting severely stuck on a great game, when it’s your night off from work! I remember dialing up the Sierra BBS quite a bit for KQ4…..
But I never jumped ship for Lucasarts, their games just never did it for me, except for the Indiana Jones games! I just couldn’t get into anything else, until KQ7, which broke my love for KQ…. I didn’t like the mega-huge inventory bar stuck on the screen, nor did I like the Disney approach.
Torin’s Passage worked out well though!
