I cut my Sierra teeth on Space Quest ][. I eventually bought an official
Sierra hint book with a translucent red answer viewer, because I was
stuck on a puzzle involving a plunger. The text parser wanted something
*very* specific, and though I knew exactly what to do, I kept typing the
"wrong" thing.

I even remember using "plunge" as a verb, as in "plunge the wall." No
spoilers of course. That isn't the answer and never will be.

I still refer to these as "buy the hintbook" puzzles. There was one in
almost every game. Even Infocom gave into the dark side eventually.

Now, with Google, it is no longer a source of revenue.
