Do the early Clock Tower games count? I can’t remember playing it… time to play it again!

Westwood's Blade Runner since it also happens to be one of my favorite games. A great game that also compliments the film really well since it's story is running concurrent to that of the film. One of the best things about it is you can have some of the characters take the test from the film to determine whether they're a replicant or not, you can even skew the results of the test if you want. The game also randomizes which characters are replicants in each playthrough so it has great replay value.

I confess, I'm not the biggest point & clicker, I tried a Monkey Island here and there, I've played a few legacy Sam & Max titles to wet my whistle with its amazing comedy.

But honestly? Spotlight's got to go to such a endearing game of my youth:

The soundtrack feels so homely, I love the plot and finding 'mirror shards' scattered around the world, the slapstick was on point, and genuinely created insanely good ambiance during some gameplay sections.

It's a Disney game, so I'll get some dismal stares and sighs probably from the more enthusiasts of the genre, but my love for this game will never fade away.

Little known fact, it's made by Capcom.

Shadowgate on gameboy colour was one of the few gameboy games I actually owned and I played the hell out of it. I never did beat it. I also enjoyed Starship Titanic but I'm not sure if that actually counts as a point and click or not. I haven't played a lot of the old 90's ones but I used to play a lot of them on newgrounds back in the day but I can't really remember mist of them now. More recently though I enjoyed all the Rusty Lake games I've played. I'm not sure if I've played them all or not but I've played a lot of them.
