  I was never able to figure out that you had to put the “long” hand onto the magnet, and then put the magnet into the giant ball of yarn to grab something.

    I remember that part! Typical point n click moon logic.

    Think there was an extra step to put the hand on the broken grabber too right?

      Maybe? It’s been about 17 years since my last play through. Maybe I should get it running on my steam deck!

        Indeed you should. Scummvm worked really well for monkey Island 3 on it for me

    But that part was so wholesome. Not to mention physically improbable.

  I was stuck on getting the light bulb from the fireplace in their office for far longer than I care to admit. Thanks for the help GaneFAQs.

    I don’t remember that part! Been a long, long time. Wish it had been remastered like Day of the Tentacle was.

      I loaded it onto my Steam Deck not too long ago and my 19 year old son had a blast watching me play it. A few of the jokes did not age well, but over all it is amazing still.

        What are some jokes that didn’t age well? That’s always a thing when playing 90s comedy games. Probably not many games worse than the Leisure Suit Larry series!
