Do I not remember "pick nose" eventually killing you?

Only if your lock picking skill was low. Over a certain level you could mine your nose for skill points indefinitely.

I just remembered we used to throw rocks everywhere to increase that skill. Even used to use rocks to chip (and sometimes kill) enemies while running from screen to screen to prevent them getting into close combat. I can't imagine having so much free time anymore :)

I know what you're saying, but if I do get free time again it will be to play the QFG series again! I'm very letdown with contemporary gaming and felt the best titles came out in the late 80s till the 90s came to a close.

The arcade focused stuff that came before was good and impressive (who as a child was NOT impressed standing in awe in front of Rampage circa 1986) but wasn't exactly deep. And the stuff today is almost entirely rehashes of formulas created in the late 80s or 90s. It's why I've given up on "high end" gaming rigs and now use a Skull Canyon NUC (and a Wii U, Nintendo still has the touch).
