What are the easiest, most accessible point and click adventures?

frikilokooo · 14 February 2012, 12:45

I think that the most point and click adventures are very difficult and frustrating,in my opinion,and for this reason I don't play these games.However there are some exceptions for me:

-Flight Of The Amazon Queen:I completed the game by referring to the solution once.
-Loom.
-The Secret Of Monkey Island:I'm not sure if it's easy because I've played so many times.
-Day Of The Tentacle:I consulted the solution more than twice however it's not very difficult.
-Beneath A Steel Sky:it's the easiest and shortest.
-The Gold Medallion:I'm playing right now and is not very hard,there is not any guide and I'm nearing completion.

Any more in first person or third person,Amiga,PC,whatever?

I recommend

Lure of the Temptress
Simon the Sorcerer
Gobliins 2

I recommend less

Curse of Enchantia (came a bit boring to me)
Goblins 3 (needs a lot of thinking)
Darkseed (time limit and even you have to be in the right place at the right time)

Samorost 1 & 2 for PC.

alkis21 · 14 February 2012, 12:52

I'll stick to Amiga. Here are some great & easy (well, at least by early 90s standards) adventure games:

Cruise For A Corpse
Indiana Jones And The Fate Of Atlantis
Innocent Until Caught
Nippon Safes Inc.
Operation Stealth
Sam & Max Hit The Road
Simon The Sorcerer
TeenAgent

As for accessibility, you only need to go as far as my signature.

Legend of Kyrandia, I was able to complete it without consulting a walkthrough even once.

What about gobliiins? I find it the easiest of the three even if you can "die". Actually in terms of difficulty I would say Gobliins 2 is the hardest. Goblins 3, although it has sections which can crack your brain, is the more logical of the three IMO. It usually pretty clear what can be done and what should be done.

Patarival · 14 February 2012, 13:53

I agree, Gobliiins is rather easy and a lot of fun BUT I think it's a shame that they made a "life meter" which punishes you for trying things.

Legend of Kyrandia is very easy to get into but not exactly an easy game - and the maze in serpents grotto is downright bad. You cannot solve it without saving and loading and mapping out the maze.

Cruise for a Corpse is very well made adventure. It looks like you have a time limit but the time actually only advances, if you did something correctly. You cannot miss things.

If you want REALLY easy and accessible then try the later Sierra adventures "King's Quest 7" and "Torin's Passage" - PC only though.

Also, "Eco Quest" - especially part 1 - is a rather nice adventure. I'm not sure, however, if there is an Amiga version.

alkis21 · 14 February 2012, 13:56

No, the Eco Quests had no Amiga versions.

FOL · 14 February 2012, 14:19

Ween. I recall that being point and click.

frikilokooo · 14 February 2012, 15:44

I found Cruise for a Corpse and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis accesibles at the begining but very hard to complete.Sam and Max is in my opinion very hard even at the begining,it's not true that all lucasarts adventures are easy.

alkis21 · 14 February 2012, 15:58

I guess it depends on the individual, I found all three games relatively easy but Kyrandia gave me a really hard time.

I see you really like it

Hope you'll write a guide/solution for future generations as probably the first person here who will finish it. Fingers crossed.

I found it very fun.If I manage to complete it I will make a youtube video from WinUAE

amiga_Forever · 15 February 2012, 03:04

umm...must you choose 1 ?

coz its a toss between Monkey island 2 & Darkseed.

Sad to say, The PC/iPad version of Monkey island 2 nowadays is actually more playable then the Amiga .... *shudders*

I never thought I hear myself saying that one day :P

Kult. It may seem like a hard game, but it's not

lol well easy for me is under a week, hard would be dungeon master for the first time. that took me nearly 5 months with all 4 in the party! then tried it again with only 1 character and did it in less than 2 weeks. Would dungeon master count as a click adventure? That rocked!

Loom was very easy. And I usually get stuck at some point in most point-and-click adventures.
