What's your favorite SCUMM or point-and-click adventure game?pic related, Day of the Tentacle is the only 2D game with a hand-drawn cartoon art style that doesn't look like a cheap Disney imitation, and it's all beautiful. Legitimately funny too, with clever puzzles that aren't bullshit but are not obvious like all good adventure games.If it can be played on SCUMMVM, it counts.
Tentacle is the only one of these games that feels like it’s made with normal people in mind rather than autists.
Sam and max hit the road in the most overrated game of all time. It's so charming but actually subpar gameplay, similar to earthbound.Day of tentacle and fate of Atlantis are the alpha and omega of this genre. Kings quest is also the most overrated franchise that leans on its amazing charm and atmosphere to hide its absolutely disgusting and hideous game design choices. The most tragic series. Disco Elysium is trash.
>>10919994I personally find myself recommending LOOM most often since it's pretty well-paced with no significant difficulty spikes
ESLs beware!

>>10920035The twister kept me stuck for a long time as a child.
It was a different time.
Quest for Glory's pretty cool
Im glad the old Nancy engine games are runnable on SCUMMVM. Got Stay Tuned for Danger to work and maaan the old 3d on the earlier games aged like milk but it still holds up.
Postan for HE
>>10920035Thanks for posting, Cobb.
>>10919960In Full Throttle, he isn't saying "I don't spelunk." He's saying "I dont's belong" in a Popeye accent. He doesn't feel like he should be in the game. This was before video game unions when you can force characters to do whatever
Monkey 3 supremacy
Loved Sam and Max (though I haven't beat it).And Pajama Sam too>>10920416Hell yeah brother
>>10920416Spy Fox was great shit
>>10920640Aye
>>10920980My Top Five probably are:DOTTCOMISam and MaxFull ThrottleBASS (if we're counting things that can be played on ScummVM)I do enjoy Monkey 1 and 2, but COMI was what I played first.If we're widening it out, Discworld 2 would probably be in place of Sam and Max for me.
I replay DOTT once a year, it's one of the first games I played as a kid and I beat it all by myself. Nothing else comes close.Later, I really enjoyed Kyrandia I, Beneath a Steel Sky, Full Throttle, Sam & Max Hit the Road, and Broken Sword.I still keep Indy FoA under my sleeve, waiting for the right moment.
>>10919960the GOAT
>>10920049the monkey wrench thing wasnt really the main problem for me even as an esl it was the fact that I never found the area in the first place. it was just a small pixel right at the top of the waterfall. I was stuck for days at this point and solved the puzzle right away the moment I found the area. that kind of shit is the most frustrating thing in point and click adventures.
>>10920276Is there a way to play this on a modern rig easy? I'm medically retarded. As far as my favorite, Sam and Max with DOTT close second.
>>10924148Yup, you can play them all via GoG or Scumm.
>>10920045As an intermediate ESL teen back then, I found the word sparring minigame super cool and funny in the first game, but this was just lame.
>>10920020That last sentence is both not retro and false.
>>10924148Scummvm works great, I replayed the whole qfg series a couple of years ago. Or replayed 1-4 then played 5 for the first time
