Gamervision: "Among the many gifts I received this holiday season was the Rob Smith book Rogue Leaders: The History of LucasArts, which details the rise of one of the most prominent publishers in video games. Those of us who were gaming in the late 1980s and early 1990s remember a time when the name "LucasArts" was synonymous with point-and-click adventure games, and Rogue Leaders has been serving as a fitting trip down memory lane. The book made me so nostalgic for the adventure games of my childhood that I was pretty much forced to acquire a copy of Sam & Max Hit the Road, which I remembered as being a clever and hilarious point-and-click adventure. Fifteen years later, the game is still addictive and fun to play."
Escape From Monkey Island, Sam & Max Hit the Road, and more.
Outlaws was a truly awesome game! And man, that soundtrack, nothing has beat it yet. It’s the game that created the western genre in gaming. RDR would of been nothing without this.
I imagine it probably hasn’t aged well but my god what a game it was for it’s day. I put in hundreds if not thousands of hours into that with my mates.
Star Wars Racer? That's awesome, the only way I could get it to run on a 64 bit pc was through emulation.
I played the bones off of some afterlife back in the day. I was hoping to see gladius but it wasn’t on there. I dug out the ps2 to play gladius like a year ago and it still holds up to this day. Such a fun game.
Cool but as the article mentions, you could get all these games from GOG already, which means there's a DRM free digital option too.
The Zombie Chimp takes us through their top 5 point and click adventure games. The puzzles range from the sublime to the ridiculous but which are the best?
Shot your commanding officer? Late for a hostage rescue? Sniped a wild dog? These seven games aren't going to humour your non-canon mucking about, so you better get back in character.
I had no idea that happened in COD4, wish I would have took a shot back then.
Also had no idea about AC3. I must have skinned every animal I killed.
