Comment on What are some great games that require you to bust out a notebook and pen?

I finished the Clouds of Xeen side without much trouble, I was even surprised when I realized I had found that game’s ending. But I never could do any progress on Darkside… Not sure what I was missing.

Darkside is considerably harder. It’s easier when you finish Clouds first but you quickly reach a point where it also gets harder. I think a balanced party composition is also even more important.
When I was a child I didn’t understand that it was turn based. So whenever there was a monster I rapidly clicked the fight button without much regard to strategy. Made it even harder. Don’t think I managed to beat either game back then.

I thought that too for a while! I had played Lands of Lore first, and I just assumed MM worked the same way.
I liked Lands of Lore a lot, but it terrified me at times.
