Improvement with Age

A strange thing has happened to me over the years with point and click adventure games. I’ve actually got better at them as the years have rolled on.

When I first started playing them, in the late 1990’s, and not through any sense of youthful impatience, I more often than not got stuck quite quickly and immediately resorted to using a walkthrough.

These days, I can start one off, inluding ones I’ve long since stopped playing but had never completed, and I can somehow manage to plough through the game with not a hint or walkthrough used. I don’t know why that is. I thought brains were supposed to wear down, not get better at stuff.

But I like it.
