Your Introduction to Point and Click Adventure Games

My family was a bit late to get a computer in our home even though they made sure I was in a school that supported computing classes.  I first played KQ5 at a friend's house, and once we got our own computer, my siblings and I devoured the rest of the KQ series and a few other Sierra games.  Our computer wasn't quite powerful enough for the latest games, so it wasn't until I was in college that I really got a chance to play everything I'd missed.  I also didn't know LucasArts existed, so I hadn't played Monkey Island before then!

I like the ease of playing point-and-click games, but the text-parser ones definitely helped me with my typing.  A friend of mine actually learned some English playing them when he first came to the USA!

kq5 frustrated ya?
aw I liked that one

as for me, gulp, my age here showing

Was infocoms text based advents, wishbringer, zork etc
the originals..  hitchhikers guide  which now has like 4 remakes cooooool

but as for the first like non text..
tass times in tone town  rocks.. always will, or KQ1 on my apple II LE which came with a cardboard keyboard overlay!  kq1 rocked but it was part 2 that hooked me hard, then 3  as i ran around my house making potions out of fargin everything. oh and dont get me started on the phone bills for HINT LINES before the net existed haha

Brother, I was just musing about how it'd be cool if we could remake this.  Who knows.  Activision owns it and they're "rebooting" Sierra.  Just write them an convince them to let us remake it!  Love Tass Times in Tone Town.
