Sierra's adventure games are great but they are marred at times by these irritatingly hard puzzles... in Space Quest V there are a couple of absurdly hard puzzles that make getting through it quite challenging. One is where you beam down to this planet and are chased by a robot that wants to kill you... you need to do exactly the right thing in where to go or you die... so frusterating. I needed a FAQ for that one. And then there's the "puzzle" where you go EVA in a suit with about five seconds of air to rescue this guy... ignoring the severe speed problems (impossible to finish without slowdown, fix patches, or both), it's still stupidly hard. I still can't do it...
