Hiding one thing inside another is a classic Russian thing.

Heh, if you overthink simpler games, imagine what it'd be like if you played something more complex. "In this episode - investigating the strange noise emitting from behind this blank wall."

Maybe you will get good at them with some practice. I know I was terrible when I first played the few sims that somehow made it into my collection. But then I got better and better as time went on, eventually being able to beat these games on the hardest settings. I belive you could achieve this too, if you invest enough time (provided you enjoy this type of games).

Getting lost is not the worst that could happen to you - imagine a puzzle where you have to move blocks around a room in a certain way. When drawn as a diagram, it's pretty easy to figure out. But when you try to solve it via text descriptions and some very rough ASCII schematic, it's quite a challenge (unless you have perfectly memorised the diagram). This is, in fact, the "Royal Puzzle" from Zork 3 - and solving it is required in order to beat the game :P

By the way, Le Rottweiler says "Hi" - this morning we talked on Facebook for a while.
