ok all, need to know of some point and click games that are 2d to put on my lappy since the Intel Extreme Integrated Graphics does live up to its name of being Extremley crap. :p

currently i got, day of the tenticle, sam and max hit the road, and also Al Emmo and the lost dutchmans mine.

are there any other games around which are 2d like the ones i have described above?

need to be able to run on windows xp pro.

current games i have bought are:

broken sword 1+2
disk world
day of the tenticle
sam and max hit the road

i also have startrek a final unity. but i haven;t tried it cuz its so old and it may not work with windows due to its dos based sound blaster crap.

also if the game can be run in custom resolution it would be great, only Al Emmo works in 1280x800 on the wise screen lappy i have. and anything non native on the lappy just looks retarded.
 
Well it's not 2d (or point and click) but I think your laptop might be able to run it - Grim Fandango

- Runaway (which is 2D and point and click)
 
Beneath a Steel Sky is good, so is Full Throttle and Flight of the Amazon Queen.
You might need VScumm (check google if you don't know what it is) to run them though, I'm not sure that they all came out on PC.
Good news is that BASS and FOTAQ are now both freeware and downloadable from the VScumm site.
 
another vote for Grim Fandango, great game
