Recommended Point 'n' Click Adventure games?

[diddydonn]

Hey Guys

I used to be a huge fan of point and click style adventure games. but havet played any in a while

Can anyone recommend me any good ones for PC?

Ive played all the Broken sword ones, as well as syberia, Moment of silence, dreamfasll, and all the classic lucasarts ones

Not so much interested in the 1st person style ones such as Myst and Riven, ore the 3rd person style as mentioned above

Any suggestions?

The Chzo Mythos games by Ben "Yahtzee" (yes, that Yahtzee) Croshaw.

5 Days a Stranger, 7 Days a Skeptic, Trilby's Notes and 6 Days a Sacrifice. There's also a trilogy of micro-IF titles written in Inform that are meant to explain some of the background details present in 6 Days.

All played :(
as well as the Gabriel knight series, Phantasmagoria, 7th guest / 11th hour, Discworlds, Kings Quest, Simon the Sorcerer etc.

Nothing more recent? the last one i tried was called Nirubu, Not too bad but completed it in 2 nights as well as a couple of poundshop jobbies, which were dire

Some I think are pretty good:
Bud Tucker in Double Trouble
Touché: The Adventures of the Fifth Musketeer - Never finished but also pretty good iirc.
The Gobliiins series
The Discworld series
Ace Ventura - Never finished it, but seemed like a promising game :)

Syberia II and the first Dreamfall (called "The Longest Journey" dreamfall was the sequel)

Gilbert Goodmate & the Mushrooms of Phangoria!

Legend of Kyrandia series
Kingdom o magic
Companions of xanth

Neverhood!

I'm halfway through Dreamfall, love that game but it's not as pointy and clicky. The Longest Journey is though.

Duckman was pretty good.

Sounds like a great setup :D

I did play through most of Dreamfall on the xbox a while ago, although gave up with the sneaking part with the troll in the catacoobs, it was so frustrating!

never played the first one (longest journey) but have just won a copy off ebay for £1 so will give it a try

Also just bought runaway 2, as i enjoyed the first one of those, and fahernheit, which i started to play on the xbox, but the PC version looks so much nicer :D

[PhreQuencYViii]

Yeah, I'm playing the PC version and some of the game is so cryptic in what your suppose to do. Once you know what to do it's easy. You just sit there pretty much.

[Nitrosoxide]

Well knowing you have a Wii you obviously have to get

Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros' Treasure

And if you've got a DS get
Hotel Dusk

Also, PC-wise.
The New Sam & Max Episodes from Telltale games that just came out are supposed to be really good

Plus, Grim fandango , is awesome

Might be worth looking out for this game:

Not out yet but should be this summer/

Have you tried Fable or Toonstruck (Fable from early 90's not more recent version)

I like the look of Vampyre Story, so will keep my eye out for that one!

Well thanks for all the suggestions guys, plenty to keep me busy with now!

[Twimfy]

Toonstruck is one of my favourite games of all time. Pity it won't run on XP or higher...even struggles in Dosbox.

[djmdma02]

Phantasmagoria, Quest for Glory 4, Kings Quest 5&6, gabriel knight 1&2. You have some remakes of some earlier sierra games by the guys at adginteractive.

Yes, I'm a sierra fanboy

The kryandia games are good too, Indiana Jones and the fate of atlantis of course, Beteryal at Krondor (kinda is)...

I'll look tonight at my collection at home and add to this list if I left anything of real presidence out. :)
