Title: Point n' click suggestions
Post by: kingrat101 on December 21, 2011, 10:05:32 pm: So Im really digging Rise of the Dragon for the sega CD and am looking for some other console point and click games.
I know I really want Snatcher but I just cant afford it right now so please dont suggest that.
Are there any other really awesome point and click games?
P.S. I do already own Secret of Monkey Island on Sega CD as well

Post by: desocietas on December 22, 2011, 05:34:31 pm: Yeah, I can't think of many point and clicks that are only on console... usually they're a port from a PC game as far as I know. I guess Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton *kinda* fall into those categories (with Layton more in puzzle territory, of course). Same goes for 9 Hours 9 Persons 9 Doors.

Is there a certain kind of P&C you like? Myst-like? Find the object?

One of those games that's really rewarding each time you get a puzzle. Some of them are very hard.

Another one that is sorta a point 'n click is Trace Memory...although it's a great story, it's pretty short.

Funny coincidence, I read this post right after my husband and I had our gift exchange. He got me Hardcoregaming101.net's book, "The Guide to Classic Graphic Adventures". I don't know if it's all PC but I can pass along anything I might find in there!

Post by: foxhack on December 23, 2011, 03:36:42 pm: The Telltale-made Sam and Max seasons 1 through 3 are pretty good! Seasons 1 and 2 are on Wii and Xbox 360; Season 3 is on the PS3.

Post by: amauriel on December 24, 2011, 09:04:09 am: @desocietas: I meant to mention that one and it slipped my mind. Also, if you aren't above importing games from Europe, there's a sequel to Hotel Dusk called Last Window: The Secret of Cape West that's really good and more Kyle Hyde. ;)

@foxhack: Seasons 1 and 2 of Sam and Max on the Wii are playable, but there definitely is a big difference between the frame rate on Wii and on PC. Same with Strong Bad's Cool Game for Attractive People...if you've got access to play it on the PC, it's gonna be cheaper and run better. That being said, playing Telltale games in any way is better than not playing them at all.

Post by: desocietas on December 24, 2011, 10:50:40 am: Oh @kingrat101, I forgot to mention my favorite Sega CD game, which is The Adventures of Willy Beamish.
Title: Re: Point n' click suggestions
Post by: foxhack on December 24, 2011, 01:55:46 pm: There's also the game that got me into point and click adventures before I knew what they were: Shadowrun on the SNES. The game has action sequences - really bad ones at that - but most of the game is played by pointing and clicking on things to pick them up or interact with them, and talking to people with dialogue screens filled with questions. The story isn't half bad, either.

Post by: scott on December 24, 2011, 02:45:36 pm: Oh man i loved shadowrun on SNES
Title: Re: Point n' click suggestions
Post by: kingrat101 on December 24, 2011, 10:06:52 pm: Oh Yeah! I've heard Shadowrun is awesome I'll have to check that out. And by the way is Willy Beamish worth getting? I know of a couple places around here that have a few copies but they're anywhere from $15 to $25, is it really worth that much?
Also I will also check out some of the downloadable games you guys mentioned probly on Wii because my computer is pretty terrible.
And by the way desocietas Im not much into the myst-type of point and click games, more of the find the object type. Thanks again

Shadowgate
Deja Vu
The Uninvited
Maniac Mansion

If your pc is older, check out Full Throttle and The Dig.

Post by: desocietas on December 25, 2011, 10:15:43 am: Hm, Willy Beamish is good, but I think $25 is too much. Looks like on eBay disc only is as low as $3.

Post by: psydswipe on January 11, 2012, 11:15:32 am: The Sega CD does have a lot of interactive movie types of games but you're probably not looking for those. All of the ones I've played have already been mentioned. Another on Sega CD is Mansion of Hidden Souls but I've never played it so I don't know how it is. Checking out a list of Genesis games it looks like maybe Beavis & Butt-Head, Scooby-Doo and Cosmic Spacehead are point and click, but again I've not played those.
