Monkey Island, Day Of The Tentacle, Sam and Max, Grim Fandango

Its a shame there is no more interest in this genre of games, everything is just fps and rpgs now. I have great memories of struggling through the Monkey Island games without the internet and access to a walkthrough guide.

Life was hard back then

theres a new point and click coming out this year called vampyre story. Looks pretty good, made by 2 guys ex Lucasarts. http://www.justadventure.com/Previews/Vampyre/Vampyre.shtm

Day of the tentacle > any other game

discworld 2 was fun, discworld 3 was not so fun but still quite cool

I used to live the Monkey Island games! It was because of Monkey Island 2 that I had to get a couple of extra floppy drives for my Amiga - the constant disc swapping drove me nuts.

I think my favourite game of that genre was Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, I used to play that for hours on end.

That Vampyre story looks cool.. ill probs get that just so i can play the gene again..

Monkey island is the game that got me hooked on the gene.. oh how i love that game

Sam and Max 2 is supposed to be out this year

StixxUK · 25 Feb 2006 at 12:30

Aren't they doing S&M 2 in episodes, like that Bone thing.

By the way Panthro, thanks for that link, it looks very interesting indeed!

Phalanx · 25 Feb 2006 at 12:34

I just recently got Grim Fandango, thought it was very interesting

you failed to mention two of the best point&click games around...

syberia (9.1@gamespot)
+
the longest journey (9.3@gamespot)

both more recent than the games you mentioned, and just as good.

lee32uk · 25 Feb 2006 at 21:36

You have to play 'The longest journey' if you like point 'n' click games.One of the best ever adventure games imo.
Both Syberia games are also very good too

Beneath a steel sky. I wish they would remake it though.

Ugley_Matt · 26 Feb 2006 at 01:34

lucasarts adventure games > any other game IMHO

Beneath a Steel sky is freeware now. Runs fine on any system with SCUMMVM

chimaera · 26 Feb 2006 at 02:21

Having almost a full lucasarts back catalogue is having some nice benefits now, there seems to be a demand for them all, i could double the ammount i paid if i sold day of the tentacle.

Very tempting.

Just to add i have some of these on sale in the MM if anyone is interested

VeNT · 26 Feb 2006 at 02:27

new sam and max?

What!? When did this happen :eek:

And where?

Edit: I also remember The Day Of The Tentacle map on the game "Zombies" for the snes, it was quite good

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis was an excellent game. Had 11 or 12 disks on the Amiga though. I used to enjoy the Sierra series - Kings Quests, Police Quests, Heroes Quests, Space Quests. All good fun games.
