> Well I haven't finished POA yet. I started it about a year ago and just lost interest in it. I agree with you about the rat in TOA. I think that trying to get the jock to admit his fear was just as hard though. I do disagree with you on GOA and FQ2 (but everyone is entitled to their opinion...what I find hard someone else may find really easy). In the first time I played GOA, I found Pheicryn to be the hardest of all. But that makes sense to me since as a game designer, you want the hardest monster at the end. In the first time I played FQ2, I thought that one of the hardest things was just trying to find all 10 of those stupid gold coins. The monster I thought was hardest was the vampiress. The giraffe would have been hard to if I didn't already read how to deal with it before I got there.

for me, freeing the princess in FQ1 was a totally frustrating, hair-pulling time !!
POA, I could have never gotten through w/o lots of help & reading the posts. to finish that game felt like a real accomplishment !! not any one area....every area. a really tricky, challenging game
go for it, Bandaids !! :)
