Well, I told you about the Lords of Time.. that game is REALLY hard and with some imagination you can really get into the story.. I've been playing it since I was a kid and never been able to finish it :)

The brainteasers in that game are amazing, I'd like to give examples.. but those would spoil the game :frown:

I remember playing the hitchhikers guide to galaxy. It is very hard (doesn't help that I didn't have enough time to play it through fully the first time). I remember being run over by the bulldozer but I found a way around it. Cant remember it though.

If you've read the book, the game is terribly easy to play.
