(Full Throttle may be the exception to that, there’s a puzzle near the end that’s just unfair due to poor design). Just to warn you, some of the old puzzles require some very outside-the-box, extreme mental gymnastics-type thinking to solve, but that’s a big part of their charm and why they feel so rewarding to play through. ![]() Hopefully you’ll find something among those that interests you. There’s also Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis, the Dig, Full Throttle, and Grim Fandango (although Grim Fandango has significantly different gameplay due to it being a 3D adventure).Īll of the games I listed are “Talkie” games, so you don’t need to read anything to follow the story. If you want to dive deeper, I’d recommend checking out the classics that haven’t been remastered yet - Sam and Max Hit the Road is my favorite point and click adventure of all time, but it has some slightly more mature themes than Monkey Island and Day of the tentacle. Both games were originally released for DOS, but were remastered a few years ago and are available on more modern platforms. Tim Schafer is credited as both a writer and designer on both games, and they’re both chock full of light hearted humor, voodoo, and 3-headed monkeys. The Secret of Monkey Island, and Monkey Island 2: LeChuck’s revenge are also both considered to be masterpieces in their genre. If you like that, then the check out the Monkey Island franchise as well. Definitely kid friendly and free of profanity (except 1 line - “Damn good coffee”, if you consider “damn” profanity). This was Tim’s first game as project lead, and is an absolute classic. My biggest recommendation for you is to check out “Day of the Tentacle”. Many of these have recently been remastered and are available on many different platforms. In fact, Tim Schafer, who wrote and directed Broken age was involved in several of these games. Broken age was a modern take on the classic point-and-click adventure game genre that was big back in the ‘90s.
