    I completed this as a kid game, probably because you had to back then through persistence, no saves and games were too expensive to have 100's for choice

    I then visited it a few years ago thinking. ..I'm an adult now ...my skills will be so much better and I will fly through this.
    I turned it off in rage after 5 mins.

    I obviously must have learned the exact pattern as a kid

    Worst section !! - and this was the FIRST level

    Edit: just watching through this again now I realise the theme is a version of "GhostRiders in the Sky"

    What game is that screenshot from, Gbear?

    Woopsie, missed this.

    It's from "Discworld".
    It was a point and click adventure game based on the fantasy novels by Terry Pratchett (brilliant btw, read them!) with the most circuitous and brain-rending puzzles that you'd have to be totally insane to have been able to figure out half the time.

    You'd have to do something like click a coconut tree to dislodge a coconut, get a butterfly net hanging in a psychiatrists office, mix the coconut with wine and then use the coconut wine to get a troll drunk so you can sneak into his shop to steal a frying pan. And then use the frying pan as part of a dragon detecting device. I'm not exaggerating all that much with the mentalness.

    That mission in GTA SA where you have to fly a plane at a certain height over half the map or else you get detected and fail. The noise of that plane plagued my family for a week.

    I'm actually getting angry just thinking about it. I finished it years ago on the MegaDrive, and like yourself, fired it up a few months ago thinking the same - wrong, wrong, wrong! :)
