Discussion Main / MoonLogicPuzzle

About Temjuiin... I can't find anything relevant on it on Google or Gamefaqs. Is it misspelled?

• King's Quest II: Romancing The Throne has a point where you're blocked by a pOIsonous snake.

Exactly what Memetic Mutation is being referenced by "pOIsonous snake"? I tried to check, but you can't search for a specific capitalization with Google. Is it directly related to King's Quest II, cuz if not the link should not be there.

Should the Monkey Island Three puzzle even be on here? It's extremely easy to figure out if you looked ipecac up in the dictionary and found out that it could be used to induce vomiting. There is no moon logic at all then because it is completely logical unlike the puzzles that Guybrush is taking aim at.

I once figured out how the Japanese version of earthbound used the erasereraser pun, since it was an octopus. From my gamefaqs post:

"Kokeshi Keshigomu Kikai" or, "Kokeshi Erasing Machine" because youre blocked by a kokeshi doll."

Deleted some Natter that Admiral Memo added to the "one particular puzzle" example in the Other Puzzles section.

• "One optional battle in The World Ends with You pits the player against a pig lying asleep on the battlefield which wakes up and instantly escapes after a single hit. Pigs can usually only be killed by the weakness shown in their thought bubbles. The solution is to close the DS, thereby putting it in "sleep mode," which instantly kills the pig since its weakness was apparently sleep. "

OH DEAR GOD! I have been stuck on that pig for YEARS!

By my count, the "three common reactions" paragraph (currently the third, and longest) goes on to discuss exactly two such reactions. Unless the paragraph is itself a Moon Logic Puzzle for unlocking the third?

cut the following example

• The final puzzle in System's Twilight, as previously mentioned in Guide Dang It!, requires a giant leap of intuition, and most(if not all) game guides only partially reference the solution.

I cannot locate this game on the Guide Dang It! page (a quick google search calls the game a puzzle game, I did not find it listed in the puzzle section for Guide Dang It!). I'd like to see some more detail if this is going to be relisted.

I'm tempted to delete the Karoshi 2 examples, since they either don't involve puzzles at all (level 19, for example, just requires you to move fast) or make perfect sense (level 26 practically outright tells you what to do - how is that Moon Logic?).

I recall this phrase being used by Yahtzee in his review of Zach and Wiki.

"Most of your average adventure gaming experience was spent carting a truckload of miscellaneous knick knacks around, patiently rubbing them all one by one against everything else in the hope of hoping on to the train of logic unique to the game's designer. For every decent adventure game, like Monkey Island or Grim Fandango, there were five excess baggage fests driven by moon logic."

Would like some help paring this down to something that doesn't take up most of the "quote area".

Camacan I moved the following out of the page:

• Autostereograms (of which Magic Eye is one brand).

Autosterograms are pictures that it takes a certain ability to see. You don't solve them; they are not puzzles.
