Guide Dang It/Video Games/Adventure Game: Difference between revisions

* [[The Problem with Licensed Games|The NES adaptation]] of ''[[Platoon]]'' lives off this. Most of the game is a nondescript forest maze, with various objectives strewn about, and practically no in-game hints, although the manual offers a few clues.

* In the Point and Click game of ''[[Blazing Dragons]]'' had you stuck until a dodo delivered a message. Problem was that the dodo was being shot at by a hunter (who thankfully went to a certain [[Imperial Stormtrooper Marksmanship Academy|academy]]). The solution was to backtrack all the way back to the second room you probably visited and to stamp a dodo on the endangered species list. Afterwards the hunter is arrested.

* In ''[[Cave Story]]'', you need the rope to get the good ending and save everything from complete destruction. But you can't get that item if you get trapped in an (apparently) unavoidable hole and get the unfinished Booster, as pretty much everybody will do in their first playthrough. And that's only the beginning: {{spoiler|you have to locate the rope in a corner of a large cave, then find out how to drain Curly's water, then how to restore her memory, and finally, you have to guess where the entrance to Hell will appear after the (apparently) final battle.}} Good luck guessing all of that by yourself.

* The point-and-click DOS game ''Alien Incident'' features mostly sensible puzzles, but has one that makes hardly any sense at all. Near the beginning of the game, there's a door with flashing lights under it that can't be opened. For some reason, using the remote controller found in the mansion will open the door. Once inside, the player will learn that the remote controller actually controls a television inside. Why does it also open the door though, remains a mystery. The worst part, though, is that the puzzle isn't really necessary until quite late game, when the player has several other areas to exhaustingly search as well.
