To avoid the confusion of having two quotes in play , this is from King's Quest VI (the Oracle to Alexander).

New quote:
"Using everything with everything will not get you far in a video adventure game.”

Don't know the quote but I disagree with the sentiment. It's amazing how far that approach will get you most of the time.

Tony Tough and the Roasted Moths is indeed correct. (Before posting the quote I did a Google search myself, to see if anything other than reviews of the game would turn up. )

The "using everything with everything" strategy is probably the one everyone uses when they're stuck while playing Discworld... But how many hundreds of times can one stand the previously quoted "That doesn't work" by Rincewind???

Your turn, tsa!

I said it worked. I never said it wasn't an irritating grind when you have no choice but to use it.

This reminds me very much of Shivers, but that probably isn't it.

BTW, there's already a thread for guessing adventure game sound and music clips, found here. (It was recently revived for a short time a few months ago.)

I'm currently playing The Whispered World, and that sounds like something His Whininess Sadwick would say.
