Well, that picture wouldn’t fit here, because he wrote about the Zackck MackCkrac-Queen.
Well, close enough…

I just googled ‘zak’ to make an image montage in reply, and got this.
Yeah, sure.

Everything else is accurate then, I suppose? 
You both just made me crack up at a busy train station

I decided to go back to the arcade and try and blitz my high score. As I don’t have a save state in the right place I had to do the navigator’s head bit again, and it’s reminded me how difficult it is – the directions are so arbitrary! I wouldn’t mind so much if you could just go back one step, instead of starting all over again. I think this is the one thing about the game that really frustrates me (even if it is just an Easter Egg).
Does everyone else find this or is it just me?

I also found it difficult to understand exactly where I had to go from the beginning, but the navigator updates its position at almost every step, so instead of walking right through a path I stood there and waited to see if the navigator pointed up. If not, it was another path.

Yeah see I tried that too, but still ended up in the wrong place most of the time. Maybe I need to walk a bit further first like you say.
Anyway I’ve saved past that point now. No more flinging random objects across the room.
My biggest issue is that in some rooms the paths are so close to each other that from the position of the head it´s really difficult to tell North apart from North-West or North-East.

Yeah, that definitely compounds the issue!

It’s north when the head is (more or less) symmetric, i.e. both ears look the same. If this isn’t the case move to the next exit on your left or right.

This proves that @Nor_Treblig is the real Ron Gilbert…
Or at least an inside man.
Only question is…inside of what exactly?

That still doesn’t work for me a lot of the time though. I’ll try and post an example at some point.
Inside of a terrible toybox, of course.
Access to the sprite sheets;
Curiously fast responses;
Though I admit there are not enough typos to be the Real Ron™
His german is too good also.

I’ve made a wrong turn in the past too, but since I’m carefully checking he’s facing the right direction I didn’t have a problem.
You can also get those images by simply grabbing the screen and just cleaning up the background around the item (head), it’s not like there are a lot of pixels to remove!
shhh, never ever tell a woman “so it´s basically your fault!” just sayin´…
