the largest WTF in the entire article is that little penis that follows you around in Touch Detective. As if that game title didn't arouse enough naughty thoughts...

I finished Space Quest IV without a hint book. I do remember being baffled at that part, and basically hammering in a bunch of numbers until I got the right one. I was also 12 at the time, and finished the game without help in two days... sheesh. It wasn't that hard.

You want hard, illogical and often time sensitive puzzles, involving multiple seemingly unrelated actions by several characters? Go get the Gobliins series!!
These are just a few extreme examples but the whole genre was based around wacky illogical puzzles. The frustrating thing about many of these games was you had to ask yourself "What did the game designer want me to do here?" instead of "What do I do here?" ... and Sierra is the worst offender. Maybe it had something to do with their help line?
Anyway I really loved Lucas Arts and Legend quests back then!

Mostly great, but I will excuse the Escape From Monkey Island one because the lower windows and doors are locked, and the manager won't let you in.

Wow. Those puzzles didn't make any sense whatsoever. Especially the cat mustache!

Ha, I liked the last one best 'cus it had the most complex and random solution and wasn't even important, I mean you look nothing like the guy and taking a cab could've worked a lot better!

Thanks for the positive feedback, everyone. In case it wasn't clear in the article, I personally LOVE all of these games (well, Touch Detective's just okay). I grew up on adventure games and miss them something terrible.

That last pic made me laugh. How about the puzzle in Half Life 2:Episode 2 where you have to go through an entire network of a giant bug infested mine (by yourself) so that you can get some bug juice to save Alyx. Oh, you can't kill the giant ass bug that's guarding the stuff, otherwise it won't work. But it can kill you all it wants. Good luck getting that bug juice!

Yeah! I remember playing all those games except Gabriel Knight 3. I played the first two but just never got around to the third one. It's too bad though, I missed out on cat mustache.
As for Space Quest IV, CD-ROM version, I thought the code was the symbols right on the outside of the time machine.
Man, I still hate that puzzle in The Longest Journey!
