I think I remember playing Toonstruck, it came in a strange big red box. Didn't fancy it though - played the start and then took it back and got "The Dig" instead. Ever try that?

Quite a nice game, but unfortunately it's rather short. Still worth it, though.

Might I suggest BLUE FORCE? It's short but great k:

My favorite 3:rd person

• The Dig
• Day of the Tentacle
• Grim Fandango
• Sanitarium
• Discworld
• Monkey Island 2
• Monkey Island
• Broken Sword

My favorite 1:st person

• Revelation
• Riven
• Exile
• Myst
• Aura
• Voyage
• Schizm

Don't forget Beneath a Steel Sky. That's an excellent point and click adventure as well.

[Sebatianos]

Then there are Simon the Sorcerer parts I & II (3rd part is crappy).

Not to forget some great gmaes - like my favorite p'n'c - Mr. Ripley's: Believe it or not! The Riddle of Master Lu...

actually this has been discused before (just remembered this thread).

[Blood-Pigggy]

It's better to start a new thread than ressurect one.
My all-time favorite point and click is either Sanitarium or Grim Fandango.

[Sebatianos]

But you do get an idea about what other people (even those who won't replay anymore) said about hte same subject...

Anyway - anybody played The City of Lost Children? It had to be one of the first 3D adventures. I hated it back then, but now in retrospect (or simply because I see what kind of games they're putting out) I kindda like it.

[BeefontheBone]

Yeah, because everyone loves having many threads on the same topic with the same people replying in them all....

Wasn't there just 1 Monty Python joke in the second Discworld game? It's been a while since i played it. There was a lovely sequence involving bees (and a similar puzzle towards the end too) that I remember was fun. And croquet.

I remember that game. I bought it in the box when it first came out and was so disappointed. It seemed so dark and downbeat. But like you, Sebatianos, I'd probably appreciate it more now when the dark and downbeat seem the only choice. Back then, though, there were so many fantastic game series to compete with: Zork, Kyrandia, LucasArts adventures, Kings Quest, Kingdom, Broken Sword, Simon The Sorceror...etc . The good ol' days

Ah Simon the Sorcerer was a cool game, I never did understand the logic behind turning the dog into a pair of slippers to get past the sleeping guard - just too random!

2 games I found on Abandonia:
5 DAYS A STRANGER
7 DAYS A SKEPTIC
They're great lil' games.

Never played City of Lost Children, is worth finding?

Grim Fandango wasn't point and click, its the type of game that they made the "next generation" of the Adventure games, I still don't know which was better mouse or keyboard. I suppose its not really about the controls though! Anyway Grim was a fresh breeze for me in Adventure games, I'd nearly lost hope that a new great Adventure game could be made (and was sceptical about lucasarts at the time as they'd been arsin about too much, sort of like now ) but Grim is brill!.

In Discworld 2, the opening scene was good with the Lethal Weapon ripoff and the game just kept on giving laughs. :w00t:
