Funny, I never played that game, even when it was so popular. But have it on my GOG account, so will play it some time :)

Me too. My dad was biker before I was born and it was very much his (and now my) sense of humour. Great memories. We went to one of his mates houses who had 4/5 machines on a BNC network in his front room. Most people didn't have a computer at all at home back then. We played it there on a trackball mouse and bought our own copy on the way home. I still have the CD.

I played the remaster not long ago. My dad passed away 9 years ago and it's always been one of those great memories. I distinctly remember his reaction to the opening sequence. I didn't realise some of the vehicles were designed in 3D and rendered/drawn back to 2D but there's a screensaver state in the game that shows the vehicles on a turntable.

I think modern games have lost this kind of charm. They had smaller dev teams with a more coherent aim which seemed to achieve more when it came to fun playable games. Especially when they were limited with what they could do technically.
 
Machninarium is a lovely little point and click game. I keep meaning to go back to it sometimes.

Whispers of a Machine is one I played quite recently which stood out to me.

Can't say that I've played a bunch of point and click lately though. There are no doubt many which I'd love and haven't ever played.
