As a kid, I really loved point-and-click adventures but I never had the patience to see them through. I think Kings Quest 5 was the only one I finished without a guide? GOG Has some killer stuff on sale, so I'm going to take the IZ on an adventure through the past by playing some of the best adventure/mystery games ever made. Planned playthrough order:  The first Cthulu game. I dont think I need to explain who Lovecraft is or whatever. I wont be playing the sequel (Prisoner of Ice) due to a crippling bug where the ISO being mounted forces the game to see your entire HD as a cdrom and refuses to write saves.  The Gabriel Knight series was one of the better-written and more serious entries of the early point-and-click genre. This also takes place where in New Orleans where I grew up so I'm excited to see how that plays out  Sequel to GK. This one came on CD and has that weird Sega CD era FMV gameplay that I cant wait to dive into. Ill leave it at this for now. If I actually manage to finish these three in a reasonable time and there is interest I'll do GK3 and (HOPEFULLY) Policenauts/Snatcher

one time my friends were describing a drinking game called kings cup, and I thought they were taking about an adventure game and I said "Oh yeah that point and click adventure game?" And they've been owning me for it ever since

reminds me of the friend weve been owning for 8 years now because when we were talking about black label society he chimed in how much he loves their album blood, sugar, sex, magic

Can't take screens so here's my first session notes Thoughts so far Obviously its an old game but only a couple of things are really annoying: theres a button to skip dialogue once youve heard it spoken (the first version didnt have voice acting) so the text is on a really long delay but sometimes when you skip it it skips the entire rest of the conversation and you cant get people to repeat stuff Unexpected Raw Anime fucked around with this message at 04:32 on Apr 27, 2017 |

Good luck OP. Point and click games are cool to me as a relic but I've never been able to actually play them. I really liked the aesthetic of I Have No Mouth etc but it's hard to actually learn the weird rhythm of these old games

I always liked Quest for Glory, myself. Oh, and the zombie in the beginning of Space Quest 4 scarred me when I was 6 so I still have trouble playing through the opening area because I don't want to run into it.

I played the longest journey which was excellent and I recommend it highly. The sequel was a horrible 360 port but people said the story was good. I couldn't stand to play more than an hour of it myself. Also, kings quest 5 is the only one I could beat as a kid, too.

I wish I could wipe my brain and play Maniac Mansion for the first time again. There's so many different ways to beat that game and I know them all

Larry Parrish is a small man. Very small. He's so small, that, well hell, guys just take my word for it lol. He's extremely small. And imagine how small his dick is, not in proportion to him but just in general lmfao. That's how small this guy is, it's like... So he can't get up in the chair easily, due to the chair being very big compared to him. They don't make computer desks and chairs with people that are as small as Larry in mind lmfao. It's actually kind of sad really. I bet he faces major discrimination, due to smallness.

If you guys like point and clicks you should totally play Thimbleweed park, it's really good, made by Ron Gilbert and Gary Winnick. http://store.steampowered.com/app/569860/Thimbleweed_Park/

When i was in 4th grade some kid at my school had a dad really into those games and i borrowed the Monkey Island trilogy and Day of the Tentacle and the Space Quest collection and poo poo. Then I learned how to pirate stuff and branched out into weird questionable titles like Freddy Pharkas, Frontier Pharmacist and The Misadventures of Willy Beamish and The Legend of Kyrandia Book 3: Malcolm's Revenge etc... fast forward to today and I'm posting in the Games Only Kids Who Got Molested Played thread.

I could never figure out how you got the different locations for the book though, it was almost always hidden in the same spot for me and some of the other ones had way cooler puzzles.
