Things I hate in video games: looking for the path that goes up the mountain

[Spitefully just walks against the mountain and continues to do so until I’m glitching into it so hard that the game crashes]

Oh lord, is anyone here old enough to have played King’s Quest as a kid? My parents, brother and I used to play them together, one person on the keyboard and everyone else offering suggestions on how to solve the problems. One recurring problem that was hard to do anything about was trying to get Sir Graeme up or down stairs or narrow mountain paths without falling to his doom. These were sixteen bit images, so even finding the path could be tricky, and then trying to edge him along using the keys without overshooting the edge was amazingly frustrating.
Also my dad once got into a conversation at a university conference with another player, and apparently all the other academics were wondering why these two guys were discussing how to get past the giant rat.
