point 'n click amiga games
« on: January 24, 2011, 04:04:57 PM »
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.
Near as I can tell this is where I write something under the guise of being innocuous, but really its a pot shot at another persons/peoples choice of Amiga based systems. Unfortunately only I cant see how transparent and petty it makes me look.

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  :)

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. :)

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.
