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

The old text adventures where being able to solve a puzzle required hitting the right words. "Oh, twist, not pull."

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
