allegra has mailed me once again reminding me how cr*p I am at getting round to posting some of your links. To make up for my laziness, I not only post her favourite game(s),
Stickman Murder Mysteries, but her e-mail in full:

Subject:
YOU STILL HAVENT POSTED THIS YET!!!
Message:
STICKMAN MURDER MYSTERIES!!!
the very first p&c game (besides myst) which got me absolutely hooked about
a year ago...or was that two...??
anyways, they're a troop of simply drawn (yet its a very GOOD kind of
simple!!) and slightly (or not so slightly) humerous pnc's ... despite the
title, theres nothing to be afraid of-- no faces jumping out at you, no
ominous music, and certainly nothing to escape. these are MY HERO.
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE POST THESE THEY DO NOT EVER GET THE CREDIT THEY
DESERVE!!!

Thanks honey. Sorry for the lateness. See more linky-ness from allegra here.
Missing
the last tube in the
game, is mainly more scary than in
real life, as in the game you have limited time periods of adventuring (it's
point'n'clickesque, but you have to use that archaic keyboard thingumy on your 'puter which makes it a bit different) before something
nasty catches you, rather than in real life where you retire to the coziness of Maccy D's on
The Strand (it's open
24 hrs) during the twilight hours, where it might be scary, but it has the benefit of being tasty as well. Not that that has ever happened to
me.
BTW: This is now 6786 in a series of film related games, proving once and for all that you can no longer release a film without an on-line game associated with it.
Cobaias would be a much easier
point'n'click game if it loaded properly (it seemed to take a million attempts in
Opera - it does work eventually though) and:
But you don't want easy, do you? You want a challenge. You want to stretch your brain. You want adventure. You want your finger-tips to bleed from excessive point'n'click experimentation. You want to suffer to gain results. Nothing is too much...
...you want a walkthru, don't you? ;o) [thanks Susi K].
Well it's
finally Friday, which at Lazylaces means I normally post some musical type links as I like a bit of a bit of a singalong and dance to celebrate the coming weekend, but this week I don't have anything for you. I don't even have any quirky, arty-type, flash animations for you with witty, urbane, comments from yours' truely to make them even more poignant and wonderful. All I have is a collection of games. You're upset. I know you are. Well you could pretend just for me. Humour me. Go on...
....anyway...
First game of day is another film tie-in (part 6785 of a series). Sahara
sees you performing that old film staple of "do I cut the red wire, or the blue?", in a bomb diffusing kind of way. I'll call it a point'n'click game, but really it's like just one puzzle from a point'n'click adventure, and all you hardcore addicts will be disappointed by the lack of wastepaper baskets, Apple Macs, and waking up in darkness in a confused state. You'll still like it enough to try to be the first person to comment though, I know you will. Go on. I dare you.
P.S. Keep the game links coming obviously, but I'd love you loads if you did have anything vaguely unusual and/or animated and/or musical you'd like to send me for next Friday. The e-mail hyperlink is in the bottom-right of every page as usual. Ta.
Part 2 of
The Darkness, which you may remember
point'n'clicking your way around earlier this year. This time the location changes from a house to a hospital, but you still wake up confused in the dark, and feel the need to escape, so don't worry about it
all being too new and different ;o)
Expect lots of blood in a
point'n'click game based in the
home of Freddy Krueger. Well, I say 'blood', if you expect lots of red scribbles that look like they were done in MS Paint you might be nearer the mark [
thanks hewitt].
A couple of
murder mysteries in a
point'n'click style for you to wile away some time with [
thanks journey].
If you are one of the few
point'n'click addicts that hasn't mailed me a link to
Dona's Room, this post means that you don't have to - step away from the send button now. Thank you all ;o)
Continuing the new trend of issuing
point'n'click games to promote film releases,
Dark Water does it's best to freak you out, and make you want to watch the film of course, whilst getting your mouse finger clicking.
Note: I hit a total non-ending whilst I was playing which I hope just meant I 'lost', if that was the actual ending you're not going to be very happy with this one.
Hate is a strong word, which shouldn't be used lightly, but I can say with confidence that I hate that f**king
crazy frog. Making an appearance at least twice in every television ad-break,
topping the charts, and, God help me, I even know people with the ring tone, the frog must die as far as I'm concerned. So a game where you get to
shoot him is a good thing which I thoroughly endorse (my top score is 88 BTW).
The thing I like best about
Dr. Metoro is starting in the darkened room at the beginning. I was convinced for a while that it just wasn't compatible with my browser or was broken or something. With a bit more random clicking around than even in your normal
point'n'click adventure though I soon got started. Nice one.
Update: Oh....I've already completed it. A good challenge but a pretty naff ending. My only real tips are you have to stand in the right place to make the silicon mix, and the chess puzzle is very solvable with a little trial and error even with no real chess knowledge (well maybe just a little).
