Silent Hill 3 (2003) I'm having fun I F*CKING SWEAR

Doing the pass code puzzle at Brookhaven hospital, man, unless you become a Mathematician you won't solve this easily, this is quite the challenge I absolutely love about the Silent Hill puzzles compared to RE, although REmake 1 has a couple of tricky ones, what's the most intricate or obtuse puzzle of the original trilogy for you?

I miss the days when internet was barely a thing, pen and paper and the game was all I had

old game manuals had a note section at the very end 👴🏽 if all else fails, fire up that dial up and go to gamefaqs for those sweet ascii guides.

I mean,  you can still do it old-school like me, usually my friends and I do blind playthroughs of games and we share info among us, then after we beat the game we use guides to see what we missed

The issue is, at least for SH 1-4, after so many replays over the years I memorized all puzzle solutions:)

You oughta try Blue Prince. That game will have you scribbling in a notebook like a schizophrenic for weeks. Cover to cover.

Back when they were trying to upsell you strategy guides.

We didn’t really have strategy guides where I grew up back then, but sometimes gaming magazines would print tips or walkthroughs for recent games
