I just pushed a key out of a locked door and caught it on a sheet...

But indeed Radiant? Hanger? How? (I do have an idea but...)

Yep. Your score is now 42 out of 99 points.

Hey, when Phantasmagoria came out, the puzzle wasn't done to death, it was merely old.

It's funny, on a sort-of-related note, because of that "needs more shame" comment - sometimes it seems like everyone says BAD things and Phantasmagoria, and only BAD things, but in the end everyone seems to have actually ENJOYED playing the game.

I've also seen it in Alone in the Dark 2...

It's also in the Doctor Who game (well, the demo at least) that's currently in production. But don't let that stop you from trying it out. I still think it's a fun, little demo.

I feel like making a small AGS game where the main character gets locked up in a jail cell at the very start of the game and they find a pen and a piece of paper, and notice a key in the other side of the door. At this point they scream:

"NOOOOOOOOAAAAAAAAAARGHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

And from then on the character refuses to unlock the door in that manner based on principle. Haha.

The key technique was used by MacGyver in one of the first episodes of Season One.

Its during the opening gambit where Mac is stealing a map from some bad guys and all the macgyversims involve using the map.Ã,  Ã, He slides the map under the door, uses it as a pea shooter, uses it as a sled, conceals a baton inside it, patches up a hot air balloon with it, etc etc.


So even tho the key method was a lazy technique for MacGyver, they innovated nontheless.Ã,  I know I was impressed.

As far as AGS games go, I know 5 o' clock used the puzzle. =)

@ Manic : ROFLMAO

I have had the same idea with a story line I wrote, the character was going to find paper pointy object.

Then when you stick it through the keyhole the pen falls out on the other side.

at this point your character is like Yeah "SNAP" and umm he pulls the pointy object back
