Clear the snowy streets and collect the snowflakes by guiding your
snowplough around the streets of Boston in this not at all seasonally themed game.
Hot off the press (I just got the e-mail) in the world of
point'n'click is
the museum from the same
nice people that brought you
the office and
the house. Right, I have some gaming to do now...
Not
one, but two, tricky
point'n'click games for you today - will you be puzzling all the way into the new year? So, what's the twist with
My Diamond Baby? Well despite the fact that there's a link for an English version it isn't ready yet so you'll have to play it in Japanese. Fine if you're from that neck of the woods, or you're some kind of polyglot, but for the rest of us an evil extra level of difficulty. Fortunately the kindly Jayne has already found a
walkthru over at
the-geek.
Amoadv is a photo-realistic
point'n'click game from Japan that has a reputation for being tricky to complete, so
comments ahoy with all our efforts to complete it. Yes - that's right - I post games I haven't completed yet so I can cheat by reading your comments. My dirty secret is out (fortunately that's one of the less dirty one's - keep your mouth shut if you're reading Jules).
The idea of the game?
Jump the snowman into the Mini. Simple-ish, but how could I resist the triple lure of Christmas related fun, gaming and
Mini-ness?
I've got a couple of particularly nasty
point'n'click adventures lined up for you soon that I've been holding off on posting as they're so evil, so in the meantime you better brush up on your clicking prowess in the
World Mouse Clicking Championship. I got a top score of 68 since you ask (and that was on
my X40).
First Christmas game of the year for the 'laces, but what the heck, it's the 1st of December, we're allowed aren't we?
PandaGolf is a weird little mini-golf/platform game hybrid with a Christmas twist from the same people who brought you
PandAventure.
Can you torque the talk with
tork? Breaking with tradition (ha ha) I'm posting a
point'n'click game I haven't completed yet, or even understood ;o) This is sooo cute though and the idea seems great. Try and understand the aliens' languages to escape the planet. People cleverer than me (ie most of you) post helpful hints in the
comments, people denser than me (anyone?) ask for help - I'll be joining you when I get time to play [
ta tabby].
With 11 of 13 installments currently available there are plenty of
point'n'click investigations to be done over at
11 Somerset to keep you out of trouble on a Friday, well unless you get in trouble because you should be working rather than playing, of course. I warn you now that all I've had time for is to complete most of part XI (logically I started with the last one), but I'm sure some of you folks have completed the lot and written extensive walkthru guides by now so expect help, derision, and banter in the
comments as usual [
thanks to everyone who sent this in].
As you may have noticed the
point'n'click game has become something of an obsession at lazylaces. I've been looking around for a while now for a commercial game in the genre that looked worth playing and in
moment of silence I think I've found it. In the demo (use the downloads link on the site) you have to escape a prison and it's a nice little challenge in itself (which I've completed now). I have the full game on order from
play.com (who had by far the best price I could find). If any of you gamers have tried this one out let me know as I'm sure I'll get stuck at some point, in the meantime I might be a bit quiet for a while as I puzzle my way through it.
A bit late for
guy fawkes night (although apparently not if you look out of my window), but
Shootin' Starz is a neat little arcade game based on letting off fireworks (much safer than the real thing for those of you with pets).
