Damn it I ended up having to use a guide in VirtuaVerse because I was really at a loss of what to do. I hate when I do that in Point and Click adventure games because I feel like now I've cheapened the experience.

Nah, if anyone did that, it was the dev for using unintuitive (to you) moon logic. They were too obtuse, or you and they just weren't on the same page, the same frequency. It happens.

Now, me, I tend to approach such games with guide in hand - or, in these days, simply go to YouTube to watch a playthrough - because I've always seen them more as audiovisual experiences, movies played out on my computer that happen to require my input to continue, rather than puzzles to be solved.

The best thing about modern p&c is that they aren't hung up on being obtuse. Usually I can finish a game with only using a handful of hints, whereas something like Money Island it was almost to the point where I was better if watching a let's play.

Can i get gentle help with riven? Yes i have never beaten. I solved a puzzle. But do not know how. I do not want to read a walkthrough thoufh.

Recently played it for the first time in at least 20 years and working up the patience to start Exile next, which puzzle are you stuck on?

And don't say "fire marble dome" or so help me!

I have not tackled that one yet. I know of marbles. And grids. But that is not my concern here.

The spinning domes. I got one to stop with a button. But it did not always stop? I failed to see what did or did not cause it to stop or keep spinnnig.

And i am sure there is more that one. Can have not found the other one again.

Every spinning dome has a little zoetrope viewer nearby. It's looking at the eye symbols across the dome in such a way that it looks animated. Each dome has one "frame" of that animation colored differently. Pushing the button on the viewer in time with that symbol coming up will tell the dome to stop spinning and flip over.
