As a kid, I really loved point-and-click adventures but I never had the patience to see them through. I think Kings Quest 5 was the only one I finished without a guide?

GOG Has some killer stuff on sale, so I'm going to take the IZ on an adventure through the past by playing some of the best adventure/mystery games ever made.

Planned playthrough order:



The first Cthulu game. I dont think I need to explain who Lovecraft is or whatever. I wont be playing the sequel (Prisoner of Ice) due to a crippling bug where the ISO being mounted forces the game to see your entire HD as a cdrom and refuses to write saves.



The Gabriel Knight series was one of the better-written and more serious entries of the early point-and-click genre. This also takes place where in New Orleans where I grew up so I'm excited to see how that plays out



Sequel to GK. This one came on CD and has that weird Sega CD era FMV gameplay that I cant wait to dive into.

Ill leave it at this for now. If I actually manage to finish these three in a reasonable time and there is interest I'll do GK3 and (HOPEFULLY) Policenauts/Snatcher

The music/voice acting in this first Cthulhu game are amazing

Can't take screens so here's my first session notes



Thoughts so far

Obviously its an old game but only a couple of things are really annoying: theres a button to skip dialogue once youve heard it spoken (the first version didnt have voice acting) so the text is on a really long delay but sometimes when you skip it it skips the entire rest of the conversation and you cant get people to repeat stuff
