I like a text adventure game but sometimes the puzzles seem were so obtuse. They seen to gave gotten better lately (being able to look up stuff on the internet helps..)

I always think of old man murrays rant on a "gabriel knight" puzzle, and wonder who has the patience to figure these things out: (the puzzle involves spraying a cat with water and using tape to collect fur and maple syrup as an adhesive..)

" Gabriel Knight must disguise himself as a man called Mosley in order to fool a French moped rental clerk into renting him the shop's only motorcycle.

In order to construct the costume, Gabriel Knight must manufacture a fake moustache. ... Knight must do this even though Moseley does not have a moustache.
