What were some games that without the internet were a fucking mess to figure out parts of it?

If you didn't have the breeding guide for this game, you were fucked trying to breed a top monster.

It's called experimentation and taking notes. Improper use of guides ruins half of what's fun about figuring out a game; discovery of the unknown. NetHack taught me the value of exploring a game by yourself. The sense of figuring out how to overcome a difficult challenge or discovering and understanding mechanics is something that you only get to experience once and is extremely satisfying. By having a game spoiled, something special about a game is taken away and it can never be recovered. Even if playing this way might make it so you don't see everything in the game, that's ok; guides are there when you are ready to learn the full truth (after at least beating the game once of course!).

I enjoyed a lot of the Sim games as a kid, but I could never figure out the mechanics of SimIsle.

In retrospect it may have been that I was a child at the time and didn't understand the political overtones or type of game I was playing.
