I played through the first three about a year ago, but I had to resort to walkthroughs for hints for a few things that I just don't get how you would figure out... except just trying everything. Great games for sure, but man were games

This is giving me flashbacks to writing my thesis back in 2005 in lab in Germany. I remember spending almost a full working day on getting the logos of the two institutes I was working for aligned horizontally in LaTeX. You can create amazi
