What deisgn fault?  You DON'T need the lamp to finish the game!!!! I have
stated that MANY times before!  There are 4 ways to finish the game, and
if you missed something, you could always use another route to pass.  So I
DON'T think the "design" flaw you mention DOES exist.  

Well, the tone of your post seemed like what you just mentioned above.
Also, you dismissed her, yet you say you haven't played all her games.
Now, if you played ALL of them and hated all, then it's different.  But
NOT playing all her games and then saying she is talentless, I'm sorry.
You just DON'T qualify to make that judgement.  what happened if you
played some game of hers later and liked it?  Well, that defeats
everything you've said, doesn't it?

I wouldn't say either were lousy...although I think Monkey Island II was
nowhere near as good as the original.  That damn
monocle-asd-replacement-for-eye-that-sees-the-world puzzle STILLL
infuriates me.  Now THAT was an example of an obscure puzzle.
