Best "point and click" Adventure game ever...

Shoonay · 29 August 2004, 02:11

These are (IMHO) the most popular "point and click" advanture games, so choose wisely

Hillsy_ · 29 August 2004, 02:23

Hmmm....I shouldn't really vote for this but well, I will!! I didn't play many adventure games for the Amiga. I found Monkey Island's too difficult when I was younger, I wanted to play it because everybody said it was good but it was too hard for me. I am going to pick Beneath a Steel Sky because it was the one I got furthest in. It was the first adventure game I played on my hard drive, and I enjoyed it.

Happy Voting!!

- Hillsy.

PS: Cruise for the Corpse??? was that an Adventure game?

Thanks,
Maybe now using a real Amig you'll try them?

PS: According to HOL... yes

Erm, quick question - where is Zak McCracken? ? I was going to vote that if it was there, followed by monkey island ;-) everyone loved a bit of monkey island, and any adventure fan that hasnt completed this is damn stupid :-)

Jope · 29 August 2004, 10:15

Any games by Lucasarts. :-)

I voted for TSOMI2, however .. I still complete it at least once a year.

Marcuz · 29 August 2004, 10:37

there are many missing ones... what's your criteria for popularity?

by memory:

Legend Of Kirandia by Westwood,
Simon the Sorcerer,
Rise of the Dragon,
some hero/king/space quests from Sierra, wich reminds me that divide from text and point and click adventures, when it's not about games like infocom's, is partly pointless as just the way you give commands is different but the gameplay is the same...
then why there is Indiana Jones' Atlantis and not the Last Crusade?
Lure Of The Temptress!
The Gobliiins serie...
if you ask me, i dig Plan 9 from Other Space too
Cruise for a Corpse (even crappy uit was, personally) it is an adventure, yes...

PS: At first i wanted to post more of those games, but i had read a thread somewhere in this forum, that i can use only 15 positions in the poll... then i've selected those 15 games, and notice i can do more... and it was too late...
No use makin' another poll... maybe in some time later

BippyM · 29 August 2004, 16:26

Simon would have got my vote, but cuz it is missI'll let Monkey 2 have it!

29 August 2004, 16:34

Simon

BippyM · 29 August 2004, 16:41

the sorcerer

mr_0rga5m · 29 August 2004, 18:02

ditto

KombatSanta · 29 August 2004, 19:26

I think Simon 2 was better then the first one, but that's just my opinion. Simon 3d really, REALLY sucked!

StarEye · 29 August 2004, 19:36

Although Simon the Sorcerer was one hell of a game, it couldn't even touch the perfection that is Monkey Island 2. I still consider it the pinnacle of point'n'click adventures, a game that every other game strived to beat but nobody could. Simon was a fantastic game, but it wasn't exactly a very innovative game when it came out. I consider Monkey Island 2s Part II - Four Map Pieces to be the absolute best gaming experience you can have, freely roam the islands, soak in the fantastic music and atmosphere, experience all the hilarious jokes and subtleties, it's just gaming at it's absolute best.

I bet you know which game I voted for...

29 August 2004, 19:40

Simon?

RetroMan · 29 August 2004, 19:46

My vote would be NIGHTLONG

-> http://clickboom.com/nightlong/

Mr Creosote · 29 August 2004, 20:32

Seriously - if anyone votes for Curse of Enchantia, blood is going to flow

Anyway, I voted for MI.

Kodoichi · 29 August 2004, 20:32

Maniac Mansion?

Marcuz · 29 August 2004, 20:39

Loom if it wasn't for a little staticity/slowness and silence would have been my fav in these years, but mostly i got to think to monkey island 1 (silencious as well tough) and the 2. Indi and the Last Crusade was really nice and the palette was magnificently employed. but think of it, Loom is one of the most original point and click adv ever, not strange it is one of the first from Lucasarts: after Monkey Island 1 success, the taste of public and subsequentialy the gameplay provided by developpers, not only the interface but also the feeling, the kind of irony tended to flat.
so i think it's Loom for me: original, melancholic, beautifully painted in the context it was, cool music, a misterious character, what do you want more?

Eny- · 29 August 2004, 20:50

Being an point & click freek... it's hard to choose...

My choice goes to Monkey Island 2

Npl · 29 August 2004, 21:01

Bloodnet a point&click adventure? Its more of a RPG - was to damn complex for me.

The adventure I have the best memories of is Zak McKracken - simply because it was the first Adv I got back then on my C64. After I found out the "tricks" you can play on the Airplane I fell in love.
