What are your favorite classic PC point-and-click adventure games, /vr/? Which games should a beginner start with as an entry to the genre?

>What are your favorite classic PC point-and-click adventure games, /vr/?
Are you talking about first-person games like the one you posted? Myst, Riven, Shivers, Shivers 2, Obsidian, Zork: Grand Inquisitor, Journeyman Project trilogy.

>Which games should a beginner start with as an entry to the genre?
Hard to say. Depends on your tastes and how difficult the games are for you to get running.

Seems like a bit of an oversight.

Just adventure games in general, so first-person games like the OP pic or 2D ones like the Lucasarts games.

My personal favorite is King's Quest VI. If I was recommending something to someone to start with, I'd probably go with Grim Fandango or Monkey Island. The Lucasarts ones are much more forgiving of mistakes.

>easy graphical adventure games
Myst is #1 for that. Only three ways to lose the game period all of which are at the end of the game, and every single puzzle involves simple logic and reasoning. The lack of inventory means there's no "try everything on everything" puzzles. Can't get stuck.

The Journeyman Project Turbo(NOT the Pegasus Prime remake) is relatively easy as well. Many ways to die, but the game is very straight forward and most deaths are pretty obvious. Can't get stuck that I'm aware of. Some puzzles may seem impossible, but that's because they require something from another time period.

Hugo 3: Hugo and the Jungle of Doom is pretty easy. Impossible to die or get completely stuck, the only hard part is it uses a text parser to do things instead of clicking on them. Might not fit the P&C criteria because of that, but it's still a graphical adventure and easy.

Maniac Mansion is another good choice. The puzzles aren't too out there, most solutions are somewhat obvious, and you really need to screw up bad to die. Uses the SCUMM system, which was a bit of a cross between a text parser and P&C style graphical adventures. Click on Open, click on the door you want to open.

Inspector Gadget is almost retardedly easy. Nearly every puzzle is "find disguise, disguise Brain", everything else is just going through the motions of talking to everyone. Still, it is a graphical adventure.

I recommend this one since the characters are so sexy.

Most LucasArts games are easy to play and intuitive, you can't die or get stuck in most of them. Sierra adventures are great too, just different, the early ones with the text parser interface feel a little outdated and honestly I find myself reading a guide as soon as I get stuck in those. Later games have a point and click interface wich makes them easier to navigate and play, but some puzzles are diabolical. You have lots of other games outside these two companies, so I'll name a few good ones so you can see wich one is for you:

Broken Sword (play the original, not the director cut)
Simon the Sorcerer
Flight of the Amazon Queen
Bud Tucker in Double Trouble
Touche: The Adventures of the 5th Musketeer
Drascula
Discworld (the puzzles are a bit though, but it's hilarious)
Hollywood Monsters
Gobliiins
Woodruff

Anothe company who makes adventures is Microids, some are retro, some not, and most of them are first person like Zork. Not retro you have Wadjet Eye and Daedalic, they have great games.

Myst 3 Exile and Obsidian. Then, Azrael's Tear and Timelapse.

Just give it up now, this genre is just slow-paced frustration. Or just play survival horror or 3d Zelda, those games have more going on while still having the adventure game gameplay.

The appeal of adventure games is more the writing than the gameplay. I haven't played a game from any other genre that has better writing than the best adventure games.
