    grim fandango!
    simon the sorcerer!

    the latter being my favourite of all time (being the first one i ever played and totally addicted).

    either way i voted for day of the tentacle because of its sheer craziness, le chucks revenge would be my second choice on that list though.. bloody hilarious.

    MI4 was very good not as good as the first 3, possibly 4 but it was worthy of the MI title.

    I thought the Dig was waaay too short.

    DOTT was my first ever point & click. I bought it when I got my first Sound Blaster - sheer bliss. Laugh after laugh.

    M.I. second, Broken Sword 1 would be my third choice, closely followed by Beneath the Steel Sky.

    How could anyone forget Cannon Fodder?
    For shame, FOR SHAME!

    "War, nevah been so much fun,
    War, nevah been so much fun,
    Go to your brother,
    Kill him with your gun,
    Leave him lying in his uniform,
    Dying in the Sun,
    War, nevah been so much fun....."

    Sensible pwned.

    Have Loom at home still for the PC, and a Spanish version of DOTT. Don't ask.

    I was addicted to these games when i was younger,
    Theres loads u left out.

    Full Throttle
    Simon the Sorcerer 1 and i think theres a 2 aswell.
    Discworld 1,2, and Noir(Havnt played Noir but its like GrimFandango)
    Another World: kinda point and click and kinda platform.
    FlashBack :like another world, i think it was the sequel....
    Operation Stealth it was fairly poor graphics wise but some good puzzles.

    I've beaten nearly all except that damn Blade Runner, took too long got bored.
    I could never find a copy of Discworld 1, its supposed to be very,very hard. Discworld 2 is great though and Noir is supposed to be good aswell.

    For those of you that havnt played Broken Sword 2, dont waste your money, its severely sh!te.

    I loved the Day of the Tentacle.

    The Gabriel Knight Series was also very good, and Phantasmagoria.
    Broken Sword were ok.
    Monkey Island are good, but the Day of the Tentacle was so funny!

    Did you know that Day of the Tentacle was the sequel to "Maniac Mansion"? Well it was! Maniac Mansion was great because it had a load of different endings, and the game changed when you picked different characters. Also it was possible to "die" in the game, unlike the later ones.

    Maniac Mansion was the first point and click I played, but then came "Zak McKracken And the Alien Mindbenders" which was also done by Lucasarts. That also rocked an teach.

    Then 1990 came along and "The Secret of Monkey Island" hit the shelves. I had an Amiga 500 at the time and I used to rent games from Computer City which was on Cathal Brugha St (I think the name of it is) near the top of O'Connell Street.

    Anyway I rented Monkey Island, brought it home, copied the disks and also *made my own copy protection wheel* thing from copying the symbols on the one you got with the game!! And you thought Guybrush Threepwood was a good pirate?

    Monkey Island was my favourite game ever at that point, but when Monkey Island 2 came out I loved that even more. After that I got Sam and Max and Day of the Tentacle, but Monkey Island II on the Amiga, excellent music, great graphics, funny as hell, ah nostalga.

    There's a good Monkey Island webpage here: http://www.scummbar.com/

    Crikey that brings back memories.....
    Maniac Mansion was actually included in the Day of the Tentacle, as an in game, game type thingy. I tried it but it was well hard so i went back to playing the DotT.
