Hum...perhaps you are right, that I just don't like the genre. That could be. I just didn't have fun with it. If I die I just want to retry whatever it was I was doing. Oh well. Could someone compare Zack and Wiki to some other great puzzle/adventures?

Z&W is more like lots of little self contained puzzles covering serveral screens. The great games like Space Quest series were more wide open to explore, puzzle peices often spread over different areas, sometimes giving less obvious direction of where to go.  Use to have to do part point-n-click and part type in commands before they went all point-n-click, and prior to that it was all text based adventures with just text commands, like "open mailbox" and "read letter".

 I prefered the openess of the other great  puzzle/adventures. 

Ugh, those sound harsh. I think there's a reason they faded away.
