Day of The Tentacle... anyone remember Leisure Suit Larry, Broken Sword and Sam and Max?

Full throttle was my favourite. Played through most of it with my dad in around 1996/97

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.
 
Have very fond memories as a child playing broken sword. Seeing my grandad and telling him I know how to do the bit we were stuck on for ages when I went around theirs again was a great feeling.

I too highly recommend the Blackwell series and Kathy Rain. I'd also like to add in An English Haunting genuinely one of my favourite games ever!
 
Fond memories of Monkey Island 2 LeChucks Revenge. My mate had a better PC than me but I had a PC with modem internet so when we got stuck playing it at his, I'd cycle back on my BMX, dial up and try and find the solution online. Cycle back and then progress until the next time we got stuck.
 
Another world on the miggy.

Not really a point & click but was the 2 second game I completed after monkey island.
