10 Video Game Puzzles You Couldn't Solve (Even With A Guide)

The Goat section in this classic point-and-click adventure is so infamous, it has its own Wikipedia page.

Despite its terrifying legacy, the premise for this puzzle is very simple. Playing as George, you need to get past a goat, which is blocking the doorway of a castle. If you get too close to it, the farm animal will butt into you.

So, how has this little conundrum caused so much frustration and smashed keyboards over the years? Well, the only way to get past this devilish creature is to allow it to ram into you. As it returns to its original position, you need to adjust the machinery on the left. When the goat charges at you again, its rope will get entangled in the machinery, allowing you to get by.

So, once you know this solution, this puzzle should be a piece of cake, right? However, the amount of precision one needs cannot be stressed enough. If you click on the machine one micro-second too soon or too late, it won't work. So, even after you figure out what to do, expect to be butted by that infernal goat many times before moving on.

Unsurprisingly, the puzzle was simplified when the game was remastered.
