Larry Hnetka Goes HMmmm

I usually give up on the games from Bart Bonte. Why you may ask of me who is compulsive in completing tasks? I don’t complete Mr. Bonte’s challenges because they are difficult and frustrating.

Most of them begin with click and point items that have to be completed in sequence to unlock the door to a room. I have never been able to get out of any previous room.

His latest game is called A Bark in the Dark.

I hit the jackpot early and turned on the arcade machine. But then I had to complete nine levels of sequencing three barking dogs. That took me a couple of hours.

That finally got me out of the room. Then I spent another hour in the dark feeding mice and turning lights off in sequence. In the end, I managed to get the bone to the dog and completed the challenge. Exhausted but completed.

Here’s the screenshot proof that I stuck it out and finished the darn game.

Like I mentioned, these games are not for the addled-minded folk like me. Once you get the quirky logic of the game, events unfold quickly. But how many barking dogs can a person remember in sequence never mind nine levels of barking.

And I say to Gerard of Presurfer fame: “you always know how to best waste my time — and I mean that in a good way!”
