Classic point-and-click adventure games are notorious for making players perform absurd mental gymnastics to solve their puzzles. In these games, simple problems rarely have simple solutions. A particularly infamous example can be found in Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s Revenge, in which would-be pirate Guybrush Threepwood has to use a water pump to drain a waterfall that’s blocking his way. The handle is missing, but it isn’t just lying around somewhere waiting to be picked up. This is an old school LucasArts adventure game after all. The solution is much, much sillier.
