Over the years my taste in games has changed somewhat. While I used to enjoy arcade style games (and still do to a degree) these days Im more interested in a game that is story driven. As such "point 'n click" adventures are one of my favorite genres nowadays and Im always on the look out for games Ive not played. Having been an amiga fan pretty much since day one though, I've exhausted most of the options for the amiga, so have started looking for games in the genre that mightnt have been too successful/received little publicity, and/or "homebrew" type stuff (particularly grac/graal made games).
Long story short, can anyone suggest me some titles to look into that fit this criteria please ? Im particularly interested in homebrew stuff, but not exclusively.
Thanks in advance.

hrm, the only ones Ive played are the ones everybody has played (beneath a steel sky, flight of the amazon queen, lure of the temptress, monkey island, future wars, darkseed)
I did just download one from aminet that looks promising. I'll check the title when I get home tonight.
-
Monkey Island 1 & 2, Indian Jones Fate of Atlantis & Last Crusade, Gobliiins series etc... All great games and all look great on the Amiga. Hard drive recomended but work just fine from floppy too. (Note: Monkey Island II is 11 or 12 disks iirc)
-
Legend of Kyrandia?
-
Legend of Kyrandia?
Ahhh yes... Thats another good one :)
-
How about "The Feeble Files". There's even a PC Conversion of it available on GOG.
Another Game I liked that never got the recognition it deserver was "Loom", I don't think "Simon the Sorcerer" was mentioned either.
-
Whoops, should have read your post more closely. Not really familiar with anything too obscure or homebrew like, 'cept Total Chaos, which seems to be pretty popular.

Don´t know if they are also available in English?

Inherit the Earth, demo's on Aminet.
Cruise for a corpse.
With ScummVM you should be able to play a lot of adventures published after the Amiga died as a mainstream machine; Broken Sword, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max etc.
-
"Ween: The Prophecy" is a GREAT point'n click adventure, imho.
-
Oh no!! Pop :surprise:
How about Lemmings and Lemmings 2: The tribes?
Kept me entertained for many hours in my early youth ;)

Try Muscarine or Erica's Trip

I'm shocked nobody mentioned Simon the Sorcerer.

I'm shocked you didn't see someone mentioning Simon about 1/3rd down in this thread =).

Adventures of Robin Hood - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D2e_RxRaSDY&feature=related
And here there are a lot of adventures: http://eager.back2roots.org/ADV.html

In that case, all the Sierra adventures, like Conquest of Camelot, police quest and space quest and the likes. Not to forget the later Leisure Suit Larry series (as Leisure Suit Larry 1 was command-based)

You're spoilt for choice with point & click, what kind of Amiga have you got?
For AGA my favorites are DOTT and Sam & Max, I've also just started playing DiscWorld (http://eab.abime.net/showthread.php?t=56815) ;)
-
Thanks for the recommendations people, but it seems most of you missed the fact I was after non mainstream/non commercially successful games as Ive played all the usual suspects (including scummvm/sarien games). Thanks to those who did answer my actual question :)
-
2 Point and Click games not listed are:
Legend of the Sword ECS
Total Chaos AGA
I found both games to be quite enjoyable.

Oops, clearly I need my internet specs on. :p

These should do! -> DTO Soft in HOL (http://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php?&N_ref_artist=5506&N_ref_developer=826)
Adventures set in the same universe include Starbase 13, Experiment, Entity... they all should be in the games/role section of Aminet.

I can't find downloads for the two games in that last link.

Much better! Thankx!
Now as soon as Lotharka fixes and returns my Virtual Floppy controller, and as soon as my new 600 keyboard arives in the mail, I can give these a run! :)
-
Ah, Starbase13, that's one Ive been wanting to check out since I 1st saw it reviewed in the PD section of AmigaFormat a bunch of years ago. Was well received, even though it was done in AMOS, possibly grac or graal (I've got a bit of a fixation with trying to find good software made with amos, other "limited" software creation packages ).
Thanks for that. :)
-
Not sure but does It Came From The Dessert count as point and click?
Also Police Quest and King's Quest series too!
I'm really surprised no one has mentioned Simon the Sorcerer...
-
I'm really surprised no one has mentioned Simon the Sorcerer...
Heh, not only was it mentioned, but it was already mentioned (incorrectly) that no-one has mentioned it :)
As I said already though, Im looking for point 'n click adventure games, and rarer/homebrew ones.
-
One I really enjoyed was Space Quest, I was surprise to see Space Quest 5 in Amiga Future mag recently as one of the title you can now play with ScummVM, will be definitely checking that out.
Star Trek 25th Anniversary a great AGA game that requires quite a bit of Amiga grunt, its shame the voice version never came to the Amiga.
If you have a high power Amiga, one game I always wanted to try was Nightlong, port by Clickboom, An off topic question but does Nightlong work on OS4?
I know you after more obscure games, but just encase you not played them, I would recommend them.
-
It's just too bad Space Quest V was not a talkie like part IV was.
-
Talking about PD games at EAB these graphics adventures were mentioned:
Lords of Alcandria II & III at HOL -> here (http://hol.abime.net/hol_search.php?N_ref_developer=1258)
Aminet links:
http://aminet.net/package/game/role/Lord
http://aminet.net/package/game/role/LordIII
http://aminet.net/package/game/role/LordIII_S (spanish version of Lord III, nice! :) )

I haven't thought about this game in ages. One of the strangest out there - a real must try (if you haven't)!
