Geeta Games is providing five copies of their point-and-click adventure game Lilly Looking Through for GeekDad readers! I backed the project on Kickstarter, and it was released at the beginning of this month. I’ve just finished the game (the last two puzzles were tough!) and it was a blast. My kids are also playing through it themselves, with a little bit of help from me. You can read more about it here.
To enter, simply leave a comment below with your favorite point-and-click game (or whatever else you’d like to say) and we’ll choose five winners at random. You’ll get a code for the game on either Steam or GOG.com. We’ll take entries until 10pm PST, Friday, November 29. (Please note: when leaving a comment, be sure to register so we can email you if you win.)
Machinarium
Big Fish Games – Azada.
I run a university games library!
Reminds me a bit of Yoda’s swamp, very cool!
I recently enjoyed running through the short point-and-click 8-bit-style android game “Quiet, Please!”
My favorite point and click game is Ben There Dan That
King’s Quest VI (though the whole series is pretty good…until Mask of Eternity, ugh…)
Old school – Myst
My all time favorite series is the Quest for Glory series. RPG elements in a point-and-click puzzle game. I especially enjoyed that in the earlier games you point, click and type full sentances to solve problems (like some earlier games, but this one is graphical as well). And with Wizard, Fighter and Thief classes there are many different ways to solve problems as you discover them. Awesome, awesome series.
Machinarium is also an awesome game
For sentimental reasons: Freddi Fish 4: The Case of the Hogfish Rustlers of Briny Gulch. The first computer game I played with my oldest.
Definitely a fan of the older Quest for Glory series, though there are a bunch of great point n click adventures coming now. The Raven is a pretty good modern one and Broken Sword is releasing their new version in about a week. Going to go with Quest for Glory 1-4 for my favorites, though.
Shiny
my daughters would love to give this a try
Myst. (I’m old school. Or maybe just old.)
Gemini Rue or Resonance
The Neverhood is my all-time favorite.
Space Quest IV: Roger Wilco and the Time Rippers
I grew up on Sierra games, so I’d probably have to go with the original Space Quest (though I doubt it holds up).
King’s Quest VI is my favorite so far…
I haven’t got my son started on this type of game yet, so this would be a great opportunity to do so! Looks like a pretty cool game!
The Quest for Glory series was definitely my favorite. I think I actually still have my original Hero’s Quest from before they had to change the name because of the board game of the same name.
Tiny Bang Story, but Machinarium is very good as well.
Zack McKraken! My memories of Sierra games were distinctly mouse-less.
That game drove me nuts when I first played it. From that horrible dark brown with black print paper to just trying to get out of town, I put that down for quite some time. It was a lot better when I picked it up later, but man, there were some crazy puzzles in that game. Great humor, though.
Easily Kings Quest / Hero Quest games and the like from those early/mid 90’s
Love Machinarium….
Have to agree with all of the King’s Quest love…
Full Throttle. First point and click I ever completed without help.
I enjoyed Myst, but I think my favourite would have to be the 7th Guest….
King’s Quest, Myst, and Return to Zork. All great!
Seconding The Neverhood (although I wish I’d been first).
King’s Quest and Space Quest are awesome, though my copy of The Neverhood is still stored safely in my closet.
I received Myst for Christmas the year it was released, and subsequently spent all of Boxing Day playing the game in a dark room with my brother.
I loved playing Myst and Riven way back when they first released.
Myst was an early. Really thinking of getting this one for my kids
There are these android versions that are like Spooky Manner or something and the lost city and me and my 6 year old loved to play them together.
Gotta go with Quest for Glory: So You Want to Be a Hero. Myst and 7th Guest are pretty high up there too though…
Thank you!
Loved Police Quest – first game I solved without outside help!
I’ve never played point and click games… except maybe Dark Meadows for mobile. I’ll leave a link. http://www.thedarkmeadowgame.com/
7th Guest was great.
My favorite point-n-click series was “Space Quest” but I have always had a soft spot for “Noctropolis”. I always hoped the property would be resurrected or that at least GOG.com would rerelease the original.
Does anyone else remember the Legends of Kyrandia? Fun times.
Adding my love for Quest for Glory!
Myst
