Hey everybody! Long-time reader, first-time poster, you know the drill.
I have to say, this article was great, very good job Emily. It brings back a sense of nostalgia for the good old days, when I used to spend ridiculous amounts of time solving crazy puzzles on my own. But it felt so satisfying, didn't it? Too bad life keeps getting in the way now, like you said.
I remember the first adventure game I ever played was Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, back when I didn't even know what the internet or a "walkthrough" was. No wait, that's a bad example, because I actually put that game away because I couldn't figure out how to get the robot to open the bloody door in Atlantis. I had to go into a library to go online (and this was about two years later) to look at a walkthrough! But I did GET to Atlantis on my own, that counts for something, right?
