: Ah, that pillar-switch. The only reason I even knew that such a puzzle would
: be in TI was due to RyokoTK grumbling over it during his Rubicon analysis;
: somewhere in his TI discussion, he basically said that "puzzles don't
: work in Marathon" (either at all, or just the Myst-tier ones).

: Granted, the flickering is suspicious enough to get players to investigate
: (and TI already encourages you to tab things you wouldn't normally tab),
: but they have to see it first.

The flickering was too subtle for me to notice before looking at the spoiler guide that says "look for a flickering side of the pillar."

I'm not against these Guide-Dang-It moments in this type of game; It encourages you to explore everything and there's some nostalgia to remembering those maps I got stuck on.

Heh, when you mention Myst-tier, I think you're thinking of the same thing that reminds me of in the last secret map (For Your Eyes Only).
