I had this game when I was younger https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Trek:_The_Next_Generation_–_A_Final_Unity a something just reminded me one of the puzzles involved removing a stuck alien data rod with a paperclip.
@geekylou i've totally done this, but I'd bet at least 10yrs
@geekylou Did... they have to specifically replicate a paperclip? Why would they have a paperclip lying about. Isn't it all on PADDs for them?
@benhamill it was a paperclip that you had to unbend i think. No idea why aliens would independently invent paperclips
@benhamill you had to pickup the paperclip from the ground.
@geekylou Hahaha. A game design masterpiece to be sure. 😝
I wonder how many people ever actually successfully removed a stuck CD or floppy disc from a Mac using a paperclip.
