THAT FUCKING RIDDLE.

9 YEARS!

9 YEARS IS HOW LONG IT TOOK ME TO SOLVE IT!

Only to find out it's a botched translation job.

Anyway, the origin of the riddle is from Friedrich Schiller's translation of Gozzi's play "Turandot", making it (the riddle) over 200 years old.

Here's the riddle in German:

Spoiler

Wie heißt das Ding, das wenige schätzen,
Doch zierts des größten Kaisers Hand,
Es ist gemacht, um zu verletzen,
Am nächsten ists dem Schwert verwandt.
Kein Blut vergießts und macht doch tausend Wunden
Niemand beraubts und macht doch reich,
Es hat den Erdkreis überwunden,
Es macht das Leben sanft und gleich.
Die größten Reiche hats gegründet,
Die ältsten Städte hats erbaut,
Doch niemals hat es Krieg entzündet,
Und Heil dem Volk, das ihm vertraut!

And here is a more 'proper' English translation of it:

Spoiler

What is that thing, held cheap as dust,
Yet honor'd by the Emperor's hand?
'Tis made to pierce, with sword's keen thrust,
But sheds no blood, tho' wounds like sand,
In number deep inflicts; robs none;
Enriches thousands; rules the earth;
Makes life with ease and smoothness run;
Has founded kingdoms; ended dearth;
Most ancient cities it has built,
But ne'er caused war, nor war's sad guilt.

Let me guess...Nuhaara put on the Mask?

Thanks for the riddle, it's indeed significantly different.

Nuhaara was turned to a werewolf, I thought she was bitten but now that you say it maybe it was the mask. Perhaps "remove curse" would have healed her (I don't have the spell nor a scroll) but she died 3 times after attacking me and each time I resurrected her she gained a level.
She had a ridiculously high experience so I gave up the idea of healing her and just fired her.

That game is amazing! Really fun, incline for pc platformers.

Yeah, that was my reaction too, though it's still isn't the boss final form . The game is titled Osman and I quickly realized that it takes mechanics from Strider. But instead of swinging with a super fast sword we just kick everything that's hostile. It's probably on of the easiest titles for arcade, but the pixel art is worth one playthrough. Most deaths are due to the falling from platforms, and at the end it's really important to know your steps.


Back to the topic at hand - Rastan Saga Episode III. Very easy for arcade title, but the pixel art is so sexy. That black vertical line wasn't necessary, even if it was intented when second player joined in.

Fighting along with Crispy the old wizard against Andhaira brothers and their evil minions.

The black vertical line is the space between the two monitors set alongside each other, creating a widescreen ratio and a larger viewing area, in the original arcade version.

Abyss Odyssey: oh my how much was I disappointed with that one. Great artstyle and general idea but the control are so god-damn imprecise it's just not worth it.

That was a big disappointment for me too, as I love the Zeno Clash games. I hope Ace Team make something super fucking weird again after Rock of Ages 2

Don't know where to put this, so I'm putting it here. I made a video (will be part of a series) of my PC-games collection. It will mostly be older stuff.
First three games that I present are Arx Fatalis, Risen and Original War. I also have to say that I was inspired to do this because of some nostalgia threads here on Codex
