So I was wondering what is your favorite puzzle in Thimbleweed Park, Maniac Mansion, Monkey Island or any other classic point-and-click game? Chatting with a game designer friend the other day and we were bemoaning the state of adventure game puzzles and it got us talking. Do you like head scratchers? What makes a puzzle good?

I’d love to make a true point-and-click adventure in real 3D (not that fake 2D/3D). Do you think a bigger marketing campaign would have increased revenue to the point of making enough money to fully fund the next game?
