The
Which Way Adventure is a fantastically easy to complete
point'n'click adventure as it has a huge variety of endings, some of which you can get to in just 2 or 3 clicks, although it's a little harder if you count the
manticore ending as a failure. Will you become a hobo traveling the rails, join the circus, or cause the obliteration of the USA by hoards of Russian nuclear warheads? The possibilities are endless (well fairly limited actually but that doesn't sound so good).
WARNING: Before I get hoards of e-mails and comments about how useless this game is, I warn you now that if you are serious about your point'n'click gaming you might want to give this one a miss as it's only a simplistic bit of fun. Consider yourself warned - hold off on that comment button.
A veritable feast of
point'n'clickery this week with the comments from
one spawning suggestions for another. If you haven't played it already enjoy completing
Maama Room [
thanks Peter].
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).
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).
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.
Treasure Box is a surreal little flash game thingumy. It's not quite a
point'n'click adventure game in the normal sense, but playing around with all the clicking options certainly helps you through the thing - but in this case some of the things that happen when you 'fail' are as good as finding the successful path to the end.
The person who mailed the link to
walking in circles to me (
thanks looby) reckons this is a game and went so far to ask for help as she hadn't "got passed the third girl". I must be losing my
point'n'click touch though as I haven't managed to find anything that seems like a game in it yet. To me it seems like a, albeit rather nice, little flash exploring oddity. However I know some of you are demons at these things so I challenge you to unleash hell on the thing and let me know what's going on with it. Mystery solving in the
comments as usual.
Supposedly a parody of
The Crimson Room,
The Pink Room certainly lives up to it's name, but I'm not sure if I'm just being thick, or if part of the parody is that you can't do much in the game, but I didn't get very far with this before I decided I had better things to do with my day. Perhaps some of you
point'n'click freaks out there can shed some light on the matter. Rantings in the
comments as per usual. For reference I got the Furikake and the Key before I quit out.
PS. I don't know if it was intentional, but rumour has it that the next game in the Crimson, Viridian, Blue series is actually The Pink Room, or maybe The Pink Prison. If you have any info on this drop the gossip in the comments as well.
Update: I've actually gotten around to coming back and finshing this one now and my advice is to not bother. It's very unsatisfying as a game, and not very funny as a parody. We'll just have to wait for the Pink Prison to come out.
