In the later LucasArts games, you know that you already have the means to escape, otherwise the game wouldn't let you become a prisoner. You just carefully search the prison and try everything in that room and eventually you will get out.<br /><br />But in Sierra games, you always have the uncertainty "maybe I've missed something earlier", which requires you to carefully search every location as you move on (as it is possible that you cannot return later). And if you cannot get out of the prison, you have to start thinking "what have I seen earlier that could benefit me in this situation", thus making the scope of the puzzle much larger and the situation much more challenging.<br /><br />That said, unfortunately Sierra wasn't very good in implementing this, often relying to cheap tricks to make the player stuck..Fenrushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17119088094426124666noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-9791622770659864822012-05-31T01:16:46.548+10:002012-05-31T01:16:46.548+10:00I made it into a video game! ;)I made it into a video game! ;)Zenic Reveriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16441583549326102945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3387495443226852794.post-41291469176419646672012-05-30T15:23:06.380+10:002012-05-30T15:23:06.380+10:00So add in totally random items in the middle: for ...So add in totally random items in the middle: for example<br /><br />FAKE SPOILER: <br />1.
