Started watching this video when it went live on my dad's birthday. Brought back memories of watching him play 3 in Three at the Mac IIci on his desk in the living room. The puzzles were way too hard for me back then, so I only solved a tiny handful of them. Thanks for posting it!
Watching you play The Fool's Errand, it was really rewarding to see the puzzles come together most of the time, where it feels like there is a sense of accopmlishment for putting the peices together and making everything work out in the end. Not that this is lesser than that, but the arbitrary puzzles get stale very fast, (The lifts) and stay that way. Which is to say, I echo your sentiments for this one, and while it looks and sounds ahead of it's time for 1989, at least to me. The question, "Is it fun." Is seeming like a resounding "Not really."
Well, I think that the video format is a little unfair to 3 in Three because I have a very strong incentive to NOT switch puzzles (...because I don't want to look stupid). In real play, when you start getting bored with one type of puzzle, you would just switch to another, because no one is watching and judging you. So I think it's more fun than it seems (I address this topic a bit in the second video, which I just recorded this morning

I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. Thanks for watching, and hope you come back for the next ones!

Apollo voiceovers in the audio stream at 25:50?
Yes, it's from the background music by Ben Cox. I forgot that song had them 🙂
