What are your favorite Point & Click adventure games?

[Anonymous No.8028491]

Curse of Monkey Island is easily my favorite

[Anonymous No.8028521]

>>8028436
Zoomer alert.
That's Leisure Suit Larry, one of the early Sierra games. They weren't point and click; you moved the character with the arrow keys and typed commands like a text adventure.

There are a lot, but gotta say that the first that came to mind was Maniac Mansion.
Also, besides the obvious stuff from Sierra, Lucas Arts, Revolution, Coktel Vision and Westwood, I really adore Humongous' games.

[Anonymous No.8028659]

those aren't games.

is this more your speed, anon?

I prefer Sierra's parser fare more to the point and click adventure game style, but I think Beavis and Butthead: virutal stupidity is criminally underrated

[Anonymous No.8032123]

Its strange, but one of my favorite adventure games is one that I cannot remember the name of. I know it was part of a series of games because I distinctly remember the protagonist going to Japan in a later game in the series.
The only thing I remember about the game was the ending and thats probably because of bigfoot being addicted to cocaine being a pivotal plot point in the story.. The detective protagonist was in a log cabin in the woods with the game's antagonist where he explains how he used bigfoot by drugging him with cocaine. Suddenly, bigfoot busts into the cabin looking for his next hit of coke and deals with the antagonist.
I don't even remember anything else but the ending but that sasquatch cocaine addict has to be memorable enough that someone else remembers it. If anyone knows the name of the game, I'd be grateful.

[Anonymous No.8032156]

its not a classic era point and click by any means, but i used to play spy fox in dry cereal for hours as a kid
its cool because there were a lot of different scenarios where it would randomly change every time you played it. quite a lot of replay value in it for a p&c
the go fish minigame and especially the happy fun sub minigame you had on your watch were so fun

[Anonymous No.8032571]

>>8028586
Most of what I was going to type is here, except I'd put the first Legend of Kyrandia and add Call of Cthulhu: Shadow of the Comet and Darkseed.

Nigger simulator

One of the only playable games of the genre other than kings quest

[Anonymous No.8032976]

Diablo

[Anonymous No.8032980]

point and click/text adventure "games" were PCfag coping mechanisms until they got Doom, and then Voodoo2.

[Anonymous No.8033134]

>>8032980
I don't get why you would bother posting such weak bait

[Anonymous No.8034249]

>>8029079
I'm confused. Did they do a chibi version of the US cover art, or was the US cover art a westernized version of this art?

>>8030157
Agreed, but both games are a bit on the janky side. And FUCK that "remove laser-blocking gas" puzzle in the sequel.

Putting in my vote for The Journeyman Project. Before Myst, this was the super-pretty pre-rendered 3D CGI graphical adventure. And like Myst, it's not brutally hard either. The sequels turned up the difficulty a good deal, and the remake actually makes the game harder in a number of places by adding in lame "press button to not die" sequences in a few areas, but the original and Turbo were both enjoyable.

[Anonymous No.8034267]

>>8033134
He's not wrong, most of those games are very poor puzzle games at their core, covering up their stupid shit by putting as many LE WACKY npcs and obnoxious LE FUNNY puzzles in their dumb games as possible and thinking it equals good game design. The biggest irony is that by far the funniest adventure games were shit like Dark Seed and Harvester, not tryhard shovelware like Space Quest and Monkey Island.

there were plenty of good p&c games well after doom
comparing a FPS action game to p&c puzzle games is pantsu-on-head retarded

The western cover art was already pic related in the original C64 release, they only changed the logo for later revisions (including the NES port).

This >>8029079 is the Famicom release, which actually came out way before than the NES version and it's a completely different game (doesn't even use the Scumm engine)

To be fair, I always missed Michael in that cover, mostly because he was my go-to character along with Bernard (I had no idea how to complete the game with Razor/Syd or Wendy at the time).
I mean, fucking Jeff is there and he's basically a joke character

Played it on March, didn't like it that much. I guess you have to be american to really enjoy the setting.

[Anonymous No.8037680]

Feeble Files. My first Point & Click game. Wasn't familiar with the concept or puzzling. It was such an alien game to me. Loads of trial and error and frustration where nothing happens and you don't know how to advance, but oh so rewarding once I started to understand the mechanics. Still one of my all time favorites.

[Anonymous No.8037739]

I think that's the special thing about Lucasarts point and click adventure games. Everyone has a different favorite. One of my friends say Fate of Atlantis, another definitely Monkey Island, an instructor I had favored Full Throttle, etc. They did quite a few with different themes that could potentially vibe with almost anyone. With my choice being Hit the Road, I think it was in part how I just randomly picked it up based on the cover and back of the box, and ended out loving the random pickup.

[Anonymous No.8040718]

Day of the Tentacle. It has the fairest and best-tested puzzles, and it goes all in on the comedy, which is the only genre adventure games are good at.
