Just about any of the adventure games that Lucas Arts have released for starters.

Dickyb0b · 20 Jul 2010 at 19:02

Loom
Monkey Island 1 - The Secret Of Monkey Island
Monkey Island 2 - LeChuck's Revenge
Monkey Island 3 - The Curse Of Monkey Island

And to a lesser extent (nowhere near as good as the first two), the Tales of Monkey Island series of 5 games.

Any of this lot...

Plus anything from Telltale Games.

Lucasarts Adventure games were some of the biggest PC titles before Doom arrived and everyone got hooked on FPSs.

yeah most of the lucas arts point and clicks were great. Grim Fandango was my personal favourite and still one of my favourite games to date.

I think if you are looking for a newer game you may need to go the indie route. I have seen lots of really interesting games but so far have not bought one yet.

Big publishers don't really do point and click games anymore right?

Mostly smaller developers self publishing or on steam that I've seen.

I've got to add one I forgot actually.

Machinarium, It's one of the best I've ever played actually. And you can play the demo on steam, or a flash version of the demo here.

overclick · 20 Jul 2010 at 19:34

yeah thats the one i have been tempted to buy a few times ^^

Quixote · 20 Jul 2010 at 20:02

Both Machinarium & Dreamfall are great recent(ish) ones.
Ceville was very well recieved although I've yet to play it myself.
I enjoyed A Vampyre Story although some of the voice acting is ropey.

Riven & Myst & their sequels were popular 1st person point & click

Dickyb0b · 20 Jul 2010 at 21:03

i thought grimfandango was like a resident evil/silent hill/ type of game and not a point and click

Similar control style, but it's definitely part of the adventure game family along with all these point and click games.

Grim Fandango is probably the best Adventure game of all time.

modo77 · 20 Jul 2010 at 22:42

Day of the Tenticle is by far the best. Another of the lucasarts games, as mentioned any of those are great

Guest2 · 21 Jul 2010 at 00:24

I have just been playing Sanitarium. Excellent game and works perfectly

Full throttle is also fantastic
