5 Fantastic Point and Click Adventure Games

I feel bad for slating the P.C.A. games last post because they aren't that bad, just old. So to make it up to those little scoundrels I've decided to compose a list, we all love lists, of my favourite Point and Click games.

1. Discworld

Terry Pratchett's Discworld is brought to life in the 1995 release for the Playstation. It was probably released for other consoles but who cares. The game starred Rincewind voiced by Eric Idle and so was one of the more funnier games of its generation. However the game's puzzles were a bit contrived even for a Point and Click adventure. Expect to feel guilty for reading a walkthrough for the game.


2. Little Big Adventure

One of the most innovative and original of the genre's, Little Big Adventure is one of the most underrated games ever. Puzzles and character interaction was given greater depth by its mood-tab bar (I think that's what it was called), which gave the player the choice to alter the characters mood to help them approach different puzzles. Not exactly a point and click game in the original sense mainly due to how far ahead this game was.


3. Blazing Dragons

A truly hilarious game who's jokes had child and adult undertones to make it fun for the whole family (I feel a bit sick for using that line).  Voiced by a virtually unknown couple of people the game still managed to be amusing. The puzzles were good difficult but solvable, except that one which you had to get your friend to come over and solve.


4. Broken Sword

If you need a break from all the nostalgia I completely understand. Broken Sword, one of the most famous of all the P.C.A. games is a must for anyone looking to get into the genre. Any beginner to the genre I'd say this should be the first you play. Puzzles fantastic, characters funny and real and entertaining to the last mouse click. Still available on Amazon for a cheap price any fans of the game or people who want to play an addictive and complex game BUY IT!


5. Blade Runner

This game has a chance of winning so many categories: Best Film to Game, Most Underrated Game of All Time, Best P.C.A. Best Storyline, I could go on, but I've run out of categories. Suffice to say this was an excellent game, immersive, great graphics, great gameplay, deep storyline, in-depth characters. It truly had it all and due to the time it was released didn't really get its just rewards. Set in the same universe as the film but a separate storyline. It gave it artistic license to build apart from the film so there were no boundaries. It used all the great things from the film but broke away from the restrictions that film-games have. Definitely worth a play.
