If you've played CODENAME: ICEMAN, you've probably cursed quite a few times with that Sierra game. Well, Lighthouse makes CODENAME: ICEMAN feel like King's Quest VI. There's so many frustrating aspects to Lighthouse... everything is a click hunt... and when you look at items, you don't always get a close up, or any description... you're often, especially once you go through the portal, picking up random pieces of junk that just don't make sense... and some of it is a lot of guesswork... and then... and then there's the train/digger stuff at the end.... which, I feel was made just to make people buy hintbooks or spend countless hours zipping around, turning this way and that, going in reverse, etc... to try and figure out... That said, here's 11 hours of me trying to get through this game... if you saw my channel update, you saw there was a bug where the game would freeze on me... and if you watched my Legend of Kyrandia 1 commentary - I talked about how someone at the SierraHelp forums had uploaded their save games, so I used one way back before where I had gotten to and played all the way back up to where I was, when I began recording again... So this game had several things going against it. I am pretty sure I will probably never play this game again. And I remember buying it when it first came out ... and never beat it until this month, after having a channel that I wanted to finish it for, because I'd previously given up at the "bird island" and you will see how far that is...
