All the endings for Solomon's Key are disappointing, even if you get the secret items need for the "good" ending. But yeah, those last few rooms are ridiculously hard and complex.

Shadowgate is another game that took me forever to finish... that damn skeleton in the middle of the lake holding a key... that bastard, never thought I'd figure that one out.

Seems like I owned all the impossible games as a kid.
