We’ve all played them. Backtracking, not knowing where to go. Going back and forth. Name some of these games from your memory. I’ll start: Final Fantasy XIII-2, RE1

      Dear God those text parser adventures. I remember playing Hugo’s House of Horrors and trying for the longest time to remove some screws from a grate.

      Okay screws np.

      UNSCREW SCREWS

      I don’t know how to do that.

      REMOVE SCREWS

      I don’t know how to do that.

      Reeeee… Turns out it only responded specifically to UNDO SCREWS

      I don’t understand how anyone beat things like Zork or the Hitchhikers Guide without guides.

      The Babel fish shit had me in tears.
