10 Infuriating Video Game Puzzles Fans Hated

9. Broken Sword: The Shadow Of The Templars - That Damned Goat

Oh yes, it's this one. The most rage-inducing puzzle of the 90's is back, immortalised once more in list form. Why?

Legacies thrive on the retelling of them, no matter how good or bad they are. That this one still does the rounds is testament to how sinister it truly was at the time.

And it really was. The only contentious point is what's more annoying: the goat or the solution to it?

You see, if it didn't immediately present the solution in your mind, you could end up being butted ad nauseum. Well, as far as your patience can go, at least. But to solve it?

That's just as annoying, if you weren't quick enough.

For many, it wouldn't have occurred to click on an option an object whilst reeling from another butting. When it's pointed out to you, it becomes so simple... which just adds to the frustration of the whole debacle.

It's no exaggeration to say this puzzle is infamous for its infuriating execution. Such is the proud legacy of this bastard puzzle it even has its own Wikipedia entry.
