Jesus.H.Christ Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Can anyone recommend me a good Point 'n' Click game?There seems to be a limited number of these types of games (or so I'm aware of).I've already played The Monkey Islands, The Broken Swords, Grim Fandango, Sam and Max, Day of the Tenticle and I know of Dig but have heard that it's not great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shaun Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 what's 'Day of the Tenticle' like? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jesus.H.Christ Posted November 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Its an ace old game, I think it came out around the same time as Sam and Max.It's worth playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

threeornothing Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Beneath a steel sky is my favourite. Its now freeware!! You'll need the Scumm Virtual machine in order to run it....Get it all here http://www.scummvm.org/ go to downloads section, grab the latest versio of scummvm and download Beneath a steel sky and Flight of the amazon queen for free!Theres a point'n'click creator program which I haven't had much time to muck about with but is dead simple to develop your own games on. You can also download a ton of games people have written themselves using the program. 5 Days A Stranger is pretty cool...http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/Also you're forggetting about Leisure Suit Larry! And Maniac Mansion! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swingin' Ryan Posted November 24, 2005 Report Share Posted November 24, 2005 Point and Click Adventure games are the kings of all games.I'm currently engaged in the Broken Sword: The Sleeping Dragon for PS2, it's a twist on the usual Point and Click format where you can move about freely in 3D.
