Thanks for the vid, interesting stuff! :)
I guess i'm in the minority again. I've always preferred the Sierra adventures, and didn't really have problems with them [though i've never player KQ series, nor GoldRush], but i've done SQ2,3,4 when i was 11 or 12 [i'm not a native English speaker], and PQ was actually a lot of fun, when You DID read the manual. And PQs had neat manuals. ;)
Yet somehow i was always baffled by the logics displayed in LucasFilm's games. After completing a puzzle i was always thinking, why on earth would i ever do it that way.
Be glad Lucasfans, he didn't mention the Jojo monkey wrench puzzle...
BTW. SQ4 actually tell You NOT to pick up the unstable ordinance, and when You die with it, it tells You why You died.;)
Space Quest was a lot less punishing out of all the Quest games. King's Quest is the main culprit but also Quest for Glory sinned quite a bit and let's not forget Leisure Suit Larry which had plenty of moments where you'd get shafted if you didn't watch out.
