Games That No-one Has Ever Knowingly Finished - an IFDB Poll
by Canalboy
RSS FeedI mean games that have no posted solutions. I realise that a lot of these could be buggy and therefore unfinishable but some will be just too difficult. I guess only the authors would know for sure.

| The Castle of Hornadette, by Stephen J. Konig 1 vote "Ditto." [+]"Ditto.: I remember you reviewing this one, Canalboy. Seems no one has been able to stomach this turkey long enough to figure it out." --Blake... Canalboy says: Dead right Blake. As someone observed it has all the defects that people who don't really know IF think are uniformly endemic in the genre. Vote for this game | |
| Kurusu City, by Kevin Venzke 1 vote "Of all the..." [+]"Of all the reviews and gameplay reflections I have combed through both on and off IFDB I have not found anyone who said that they finished the game due to its difficulty and vagueness in some areas. I am saying this because I am THIS close to reaching the ending but cannot get over one last hurdle (I used the author's hints and dug through past play reviews and discussions for more hints, but it was not enough). I would love to be able to finish this one. " --Kinetic Mouse Car... Vote for this game | |
| Castle Ralf, by Doug Clutter and Steve Vance 1 vote "DOS based puzzlefest set in a wacky castle. Very professionally done and worth a play." [+]"DOS based puzzlefest set in a wacky castle. Very professionally done and worth a play.: I have managed 190 points out of 300 but never managed to get the gold key. There is a hint sheet on IFDB in Word format but even with this I never managed to leave the castle." ( - Full review) --Canalboy... Vote for this game | |
| ANDROMEDA 1983, by Marco Innocenti 1 vote "Captures the essence of graphical IF games from the 80s" [+]"Captures the essence of graphical IF games from the 80s: That is to say, some of the puzzles are obtuse and there are deliberate guess-the-verb headaches. Having played the original Andromeda Awakening helps, but anybody who has managed to finish this story hasn't bothered to share it with the rest of us." --mjhayes... Vote for this game | |

The command is set to apply to an object, but not programmed to recognize any objects or react accordingly, so nothing works." ( - Full review) --Lance Cirone... Vote for this game | |
| Praser 5, by Andrew Plotkin 1 vote "Has this one been solved?" [+]"Has this one been solved?: Couldn't find a walkthrough anywhere, just discussions. Considering it's a Plotkin joint, I'd be surprised if no one has done it. But I can't find proof." --Blake... Vote for this game | |
