It's basically a board game you play against the computer. The main problem with it is that the computer AI is really good.

I've solved it, so it can be done.
So did I! Considering it was something like my 1,000 attempt at passing it, I'm sure it was just dumb luck though as opposed to skill.

but could never do it, what makes it worse it after a while a really hard or unfair puzzle just becomes boring,
thankfully once i found out you dont actualy have to finish the microscope puzzle to finish the game i just moved on and left it,
Also I remember the maze puzzle in that game being quite a pain

(Spoiler)
Did you find the map of the maze in the Bishop's puzzle room? Made the whole thing very easy.

I love this reply and it makes me laugh every time. [smiley=rofl.gif]
I don't think it's so much cynical, as really really funny.

That puzzle I still don't understand! A good idea, but something went wrong in the implementation.
Still adventuring after all these years!
Patiently awaiting The Last Crown: Haunting of Hallowed Isle, and Bracken Tor...

Thanks god for walktroughs (not that it's fun to use one in a game, where you've done everything else on your own! )
