I wish this genre wasn't dying...looking for something decent to get now. Some new stuff out - "The Moment of Silence" - but I heard that was dogshit. One called "Still Life" had good reviews.
It is a stand alone game...there are a couple flashbacks referring to the older games, but nothing in the plot that requires you to remember them...I hadnt played the others for years and had no problem catching up.

oops, i misread your post last night and thought you said i needed to play the other two.
I'll try and pick this up tomorrow. I also spotted Sam and Max and Day of the Tentacle for £2.50 which I could do with playing again.
In fact, i was going to go down town today and buy BS1/2... They are 5 each, 3 of them for a tenner, was gonna get Red Alert 2 because thats in the deal. I lost my original years ago, i gave it to a friend and never got it back
Well I just wanted to say I'm playing Still Life and it's a really excellent game so far. It plays sorta like resident evil but it's all point-and-click.
Anyone played any good point and click adventures lately?
The internet. The ultimate MMORPG.
Haha, true dat.

will it really make no sense?
You must get all the broken sword series, they own hard.
My favourite genre is point and click, and it's a real pity there's more shooters than thinkers. I've played pretty much all the classic PnC adventures, and the Zork series was great too. I wish lucas arts and revolution would bring out some more. I really hope there'll be another broken sword game.
tnf, I've never played them, but I hear the Versaille series is pretty good. My girlfriend doesn't get into games too much, but apparently these are intriguing enough to get her to play. I'm pretty sure they're old as hell, though, so you might have trouble locating a copy and getting it to run.
Just a suggestion.

I remember the glorydays of Kings Quest and Full throttle. Good days
Point and click was late in the King's Quest series...I remember the glory days of Kings Quest 1.
"Look door"
"Open door"
"Look chair"
"Get rock"
etc...
I taught myself to type playing Sierra adventures.

Yeah, Kings Quest was great, and quite spooky too. I rmemeber playing the first, getting to some lake in the middle of some trees and some witch killing me...?
