@kirtai @bri7 @lispi314 @apophis I remember pixel hunting being the bane of some classic LucasArts game too! Compounded by the need to use a specific Look command to do it, too.
And I remember Heart of the Alien (sequel to Another World/Out of this World), a platformer, also had a bomb placement that require a specific sequence of movement keys to do. Reading the manual was the only way to know.
(“bat, take the wheel” is a specific idiomatic expressions, I'll allow it.)
