I'm glad I'm not the only one who could never get anywhere with adventure 
games.  I remember buying one still-photo graphic adventure, based on Miami Vice 
-- can't recall its name now -- where every frame had only multiple-choice 
responses.  I figured if I lived long enough I could get somewhere, by trying all 
possible answers to each scene.  Nope, never got out of the loop, managed to 
drive down he road or something like that but no more.

I always considered writing and debugging your own programs the real computer 
adventure -- and you have a real prize when you "won"!

I did mange to get Leisure Suit Larry past the guard and up the stairs, by 
tuning in the right channel on the TV.  That felt pretty good at the time!
