I wonder if I'd still remember the puzzles to adventure games I haven't played in that long, like Curse of Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Zork Grand Inquisitor, TimeLapse...
... Well I certainly remember The Puzzle from Timelapse, but anything else I mean. :) Timelapse is a Myst-style game, and at the end of the third world (of five I believe) there's a completely evil tile sliding puzzle that we tried to beat for hours before finally giving up in extreme frustration.
I mean, it's a tile sliding puzzle, first. They're always hard. But on top of that, second, when you finished one of the quarters of the puzzle, it would lock, meaning you could only work with the remaining part of the puzzle. And last, the starting locations were randomized, so no guide could tell you what to do.
Yeah, we quit playing the game at that puzzle. Good game, but that was just stupidly hard and no fun.
