Or maybe just ones that make more sense, as opposed to the crazy stuff that used to work in early point and click adventures."

Pocket Gamer: Fester Mudd is one hell of a phoney - a game so committed to emulating antique point-and-click adventures that even an expert in the field might mistake it for some forgotten relic from 1994.
It's got chunky pixel-art graphics on hand-drawn backdrops. It has synth-heavy MIDI music, and no voice-acting. There's a hefty great interface that takes up half the screen, with verbs like 'Look' and 'Give' on it.
