There were some critical items that were near impossible to find without a guide.

Yeah, Back when I was a kid we used to roam those point and click adventures a lot. We'd get stuck all the times. Sometimes a friend would have an idea and we'd make some progress. But the internet was slow and we still had dialup. I guess there weren't that much walkthroughs available. At least not in the parts of the internet I knew my way around... Yeah, and English is my second language. So information was kinda scarce antways, before I learned the main language of the internet in school... Everything developed and now I have everything available. I even have those old games sitting on an SD card on a Raspberry Pi and waiting for me. I really should finish that game at some point. On the flipside, I'm an adult now and it's difficult to find the time to play point and click adventures all day long 😆

And regarding the items: I tried ManiacMansion, which I believe is included in DOTT. That's properly impossible without an expert at your side.
