Theme: [Light Selected] To Dark»

Something I often think about is my tastes. With films I enjoy everything from Casablanca to Hot Fuzz and my music library has everything from Miles Davis to Meshuggah. When it comes to games though my tastes are depressingly narrow and usually involving the introduction of bullets to the bodies of people/evil beings from the nether pit of Hell who don't like me very much.

I can at least say I've tried the real time strategy game and dabbled in the odd sim but I have never played an adventure of the point and click variety. The closest I've come to the genre is L.A Noire and The Walking Dead, but I want to go deeper and experience something that is as close as it gets to the adventure games of the 90's while still being playable.

So hit me, I want some pixel-hunting, some dialogue trees and some puzzle solving. Recommend me a gateway drug, I want to get why a certain subset of people swear by the point and the click.

Thanks in advance:

I love point and click adventures, Some of the best are Day of the Tentacle, Secret of Monkey Island I and II (there are special editions with improved graphics), Curse of Monkey Island. Grim Fandango is very good. My favourite is Indiana Jones and Fate of Antlantis - in one third of a game you have choice to go muscle, brain or teamwork, if you gonna play this game save your progress there, you can replay after you reach Atlantis, all three ways are diffrent and make a new gane. Game has CD edition with voiceover.

And last but not least there are Sierra games (Space Quest series, Quest for Gllory etc.). Enjoy playing!

I hate point and click adventure games, but I can suggest one that I actually enjoyed. It's Beneath a Steel Sky. I like it because it's set in a dsytopian future, and it's cyberpunk. It also had an interesting enough story that I played it, despite it being a p n' d. Of course, I had a walk thru, which took a lot of the frustration out of it, and allowed me to play it just for the story. Best of all, it's free on Gog.com! There's also a bunch of other p n' ds on there, so you'd probably want to check them out as well.
