uh anyway

Day of The Tentacle
The Two Indiana Jones Adventure
the Goblins Series (of which i feel to include at least a screenshot for just how fucked up it looked... remember kids this is how western game looked once!)

Broken Sword
Beneath a Steel Sky
Simon The Sorcerer and sequel
Discworld
freakin Full Throttle
Loom

Sierra stuff like leisure suit larry and space quest? i never played most sierra game but they seems to be pretty obtuse,i mean when you can die in adventure game before even clocking a in game minute you know something is wrong,heck someone made even a site listing every way to die in the various space quest
http://tmd.alienharmony.com/rw/index.htm

i heard it's good but i have never played it - i have no mouth and i must scream
same for gabriel knight
played the first,was good,never played the two other sequels - the legend of kyrandia series

if you have a snes emulator lying around famicom detective club is a really good detective story altough not a point-and click game

i can never praise phoenix wright enough even if again it's not really a point-and-click adventure altough you do have point-and-click segments

if you still after this list are really that desperate professor layton? it's more of a collection of brain bender with a narrative slapped behind it than a true adventure game

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #6 on:** January 05, 2010, 02:05:20 PM »

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, Team Path

alternatively, Day of the Tentacle

Howard Alan Treesong · « **Reply #7 on:** January 05, 2010, 02:20:10 PM »

Full Throttle's aight, pretty darn short, too. Can be hard to get it running on modern machines, though - I would use ScummVM for sure.

I have to recommend against The Dig, though. Puzzles are too Myst-style alien obtuseness, and it's lacking the charm and humor that define Lucasarts' best titles.

It seems clear (to me) that what you loved about MI was the characters and humor, and while the puzzles can be entertaining they weren't the main draw. You have to be careful with some of these older adventure games you don't get drawn into a lifeless puzzle wankfest.

Cravis · « **Reply #8 on:** January 05, 2010, 02:24:43 PM »

Scooby Doo on the Genesis. Yes, it's an awesome point and click style game.

Curse sucks, I hate that era of adventure gaming where everything was trying to look like a Korean-animated Don Bluth knock-off

Curse of Monkey Island is greatness, don't let Patel's blind hatred of Korean-animated Don Bluth knock-offs fool you!

ManaByte · « **Reply #12 on:** January 05, 2010, 02:42:24 PM »

Play Fate of Atlantis

Then do the Space Quests...all of them.

Himu · « **Reply #13 on:** January 05, 2010, 03:33:29 PM »

Monkey Island 2

Day of the Tentacle is the peak of this shit btw.

ManaByte · « **Reply #14 on:** January 05, 2010, 03:34:43 PM »

Lucasarts games had the humor, but the Sierra games had the better puzzles.

The fast food bit in Space Quest III is still great.

Reb · « **Reply #15 on:** January 05, 2010, 03:52:29 PM »

Day of the Tentacle, I love that game.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #16 on:** January 05, 2010, 10:16:09 PM »

I bought the LucasArts Adventure Pack off Steam, and still have Sam and Max to cruise through. I think I'll play Fate of Atlantis next.

I loved Secret of Monkey Island. I hope LucasArts does a SE version of the sequels for Steam. I'd buy them day one if they're any good. Anyone know if the new Telltale one is any good?

And I did like the puzzles, because I thought they were clever and not abstract inventory puzzles. That was one of the things that kind of irked me about the first episode of Sam and Max.

Did you play Monkey Island II: LeChuck's Revenge yet? Same guy that did the original did the sequel, and it's just as awesome -if not better- than the original. Different people made Curse and Escape from Monkey Island.

I made it halfway through the third episode before getting distracted by other things, but I really liked what I played of it.

No, I'm kind of holding out for a Special Edition-ized version. I like the presentation.

Indy 4 has awesome voice acting

Ichirou · « **Reply #22 on:** January 05, 2010, 11:38:10 PM »

The Telltale Sam & Max games are good. I finished the first season but haven't started the second one yet.

The Fake Shemp · « **Reply #23 on:** January 05, 2010, 11:39:33 PM »

Yeah, I like what I've played so far, but Secret of Monkey Island spoiled me. I had so much fun with that game, as archaic as some of it is.

Ichirou · « **Reply #24 on:** January 05, 2010, 11:44:49 PM »

I had Sam& Max Hit The Road on Mac many moons ago...it was good shit. Play that one next, it's my favorite of the Lucasarts adventure games.

Actually, the Star Trek adventure game from Interplay was really cool, too...I imagine it's out of print. It was like playing episodes from the old TV show. There were various ways of finishing each adventure and you got rewarded with a better score (or rating, I forget) for finishing each episode in the most peaceful way possible (there were instances where I remember you could choose to find a non-violent solution or engage in a phaser shootout).

Good game. The entire cast did the voices, too...the only soundalike was the guy who played Harry Mudd, since the actor had died by the time the game got made.

Star Trek 25th Anniversary and Star Trek Judgement Rights are two of the best adventure games ever made. The CD versions even had the entire original series cast doing the voices.

Callahan's Crosstime Saloon.

It has dozens of references to music and movie culture!

Crap, they made a game out of that? The books were quite fun! Cormacaroni approves, +1 PCFE point to Borys.

I would buy those if they were available on Steam. In a second.

Star Trek: TNG also had an adventure game with the entire cast in it like the TOS ones.

Yeah, but TNG sucks.
