Sierra or LucasArts?
Shadow bump!
Funny, when I read the comments in this kind of topic, I realize that I love P&C, but there is still a ton of masterpieces I haven't done yet.
Anyways, these last few years, I fell in love with Amanita games, especially Machinarium. The poetry, the soundtrack...I just loved it. Daedalic games are really enjoyable too, and Syberia 1&2 are great.
Thanks for all the jigidis you gave us GreenT, hope to see you around soon !

I am a fan of point and clicks, also Daedalic. Though I have not played much of the games but I had been collecting them :D
Cheers, Cruse~

I own a pristine, 1.0 360K copy of King's Quest I by Sierra, complete with all original packaging and labeled for "IBM PC." Yep, a perfect copy of the world's first fully animated adventure game.
<mic drop> 😁

was it the first adventure? or specifically "fully animated' adventure?

The first fully animated adventure game. But it's incredibly important...it took the genre in a completely new direction.
Most adventure games before this one were text adventures, or they might have stationary pictures (e.g., Mindshadow). Probably the most important adventure game ever is Zork I (or perhaps Colossal Caves, upon which it was based). Its vocab and text parser were both way ahead of its time. I remember trying to code games like it and mostly failing (it always seemed like I was creating something big, then you'd go to play it and realize that there wasn't much going on...and then you'd look back in awe at what it took to code Zork)...when I was 16, I finally made a halfway decent one called Cobweb Castle in the very earliest days of Shareware (late 80s) and made a few bucks from that. I think that I might have the source code to that old thing laying around someplace. Lolz

that's much more impressive than anything I've coded.
I used to just code solutions for my math HW lol

Hello SG :D
I am still home but hopefully bar something weird happening I will be leaving for a couple of months sometime in the first two weeks of August. So while I'm here and my parents' visit is winding down, I have some time to share some humblebundle goodies.
I've always been a point & click fan, and not just a fan of the Sam & Maxes or Gabriel Knights of days gone; I've played some really obscure and hardly ever talked about games, some have a cult following today like the "Beneath the Steel Skies" of games and others went the way of Willy Beamish and Amazon: Guardians of Eden. So my poll is about what are likely the most prolific Point & Click creators of old. Which one is your go to? Also if you're up for it comment about your favourite point & clicks, Maybe you like Monkey Island or DotT? Or maybe prefer the newer generation of games? Daedalic, Wadjet Eye, Amanita - anything you feel like talking about. I have one game that stuck with me for years after playing it, it was called the Big Red Adventure, I enjoyed it when I played it. I do not recommend anyone try to get it today though, it's a broken mess that barely worked when released, the chances of it refusing to work at all today are quite high.
I added one more GA to the list to make them an even 4:
