    All the new fangled action games I just play on a console because in my old mind that's where they belong
    For me, "PC gaming" means using the Arrow Keys, Ctrl, Alt, Shift, and Spacebar. Old platformers (Jill of the Jungle, Jazz Jackrabbit, Commander Keen) or dungeon crawlers (Wizardry, Cyberdogs), early FPSs (Doom, Wolfenstein, Heretic, Hexen), or just random shit that I found (Raptor: Call of the Shadow, Skyroads, Scorched Earth, etc).

    If I have to use a mouse in conjunction with other things, I lose interest. I'm not sure why.

    I want that, considering I never finished the SNES version.

    I thought that was because I drew horrible fanart. Who knew?
    I wouldn't call it fanart.

    Because controls that fit into your hands and work with conjunction with a certain type of gaming platform exists.

    Since when is Flashback a classic point and click adventure game. But yeah there is a remake, dunno if it's on PC though.

    But how can it not be called as such. Fits the definition.

    I was just talking about older games updated from the 90's and 00's.
    I haven't played a point & click game in ages, so I'm no help in that department.

    Finding and matching the update versions was a bit hectic.

    And yes we also used Himachi which was a complete bitch for me to get working at the time.

    Online stuff in game is supposed to be working now though.

    Fuck I hate typing on the phone.

    Not just Tim Curry, but Mark Hamill too. It sucks but what can you do.

    Blackwell series is my personal favorite, Gemini Rue was pretty cool, Resonance as well, Primordia was okay, and I haven't played The Shivah but heard good things.

    Grey Matter is also one I really enjoyed, although it's not made in the retro style. It's another Jane Jensen game (Gabriel Knight).

    Gemini Rue was awesome. I'll check out some of the others you mentioned too. I always love a good point and click game
