My Top 10 Worst Point & Clicks I've Played (So Far)

[@pjw5328]

Leisure Suit Larry started a trend of late 80s adventure games starring lovable losers trying to score. There was Legend’s Spellcasting trilogy, Accolade’s Les Manley series, and probably others I’ve forgotten. That’s one trend I definitely don’t miss; none of those Larry imitators were very much fun IMO. Quest for Glory II had some very frustrating mechanics. Just trying to navigate around the palace before you got the map was a royal pain, and I remember spending hours throwing dirt at the stupid air elemental trying to figure out exactly where to click so that it wouldn’t get blown away. Future Wars not only had lots of nit-picky clicky stuff, it wasn’t programmed to auto-move your character when you click an object, so you always had to be standing in just the right spot when you clicked or you’d see the dreaded “get closer” pop-up for the hundredth time. So annoying!

[@Fortefyre]

Tex Murphy was the same way but lacked the luxury of telling you to get closer lmao.

[@pjw5328]

@@Fortefyre Future Wars and the original Tex Murphy were the same vintage (1989), so chalk that up as a QOL improvement some developers hadn’t figured out yet, I guess. The only Tex Murphy game I ever played was Under the Killing Moon and I don’t remember having those issues with that one.

[@Fortefyre]

I've only ever played Mean Streets. I do own them all, snagged them in a collection from steam lol.

[@uchusky08]

I remember playing Riven as an 11 year old and being so confused. I think I got decently far but I definitely got stuck somewhere and good effin' luck at that point without a guide. Was definitely a cool and unique experience at the time, but so damn confusing.

[@Fortefyre]

Yeah I was on a Myst kick then, and I definitely appreciate the solid effort from Cyan to create a follow-up, like I said, it isn't bad, at all, in fact it's quite good, but man, it's difficult.

[@lancelotlink007]

Great vid! Sam n Max Hit the Road was one of my favorites! I am old enough to remember when these games were new.

[@Fortefyre]

I'm 32, so new games to me, at least in the computer spectrum were mostly humongous entertainment games.

[@Ned_FIanders]

Great video as always, happy to see putt putt wasn't in the list 😂

[@Fortefyre]

Haha I haven't played them yet, at least not where I'm tracking them. Humongous Entertainment was a huuuuge part of my childhood.

[@SegaCDUniverse]

My friend and I passed Discworld back and forth many times because we wanted new cool games for our PS1 and while good looking, it's so very hard. I ended up with it. I do like it a lot and eventually bought two. I just find it slow and the puzzles obtuse, but it's charming in it's own way

[@Fortefyre]

Discworld and Blazing Dragons are two that in some ways I'm dreading lol.

[@goatbone]

I think the biggest flaw of KQVII is starting you in a desert. It is not fun and just depressing. It would be fine if you moved on quickly but you wander around for hours trying to figure out what to do.

[@Fortefyre]

It's a SLOG of a time too.

[@Blueniter]

I can only remember two point and click games I've ever played. 1.) The colonel's bequest MSDOS 2.) Freddi Fish PC

[@Fortefyre]

I really wanted to get into the Laura Bow series (The Colonel's Bequest & The Dagger of Amon-Ra) but I couldn't. I think it's because it departed the norm for point and clicks and was more like an interactive play.

[@arminachtduizend975]

Shape up or slip out...... are you sure? 1 Land of the lounge lizards. 2 Euh...could be shape up or slip out. 3 Passionate Patty and the case of the pulsating pectorals. 4 Case of the missing floppies. 5 Maybe this one is passionate and 3 has a title also mentioning Patty. 6 (La costa lotta so distracting) I think Looking for love in several wrong places? 7 Love for sail. Man turns out I got rusty now Im doubting 2 is called looking for love 5 Is passionate Patty and 6 is La costa lotta............. I'll think about it some more before googlesearch. Anyways Ken sent me,

[@Fortefyre]

1. In the Land of the lounge lizards 2. Goes looking for love in several wrong places. 3. Passionate patty in pursuit of the pulsating pectoral. 4. Case of the missing floppies ;) 5. Passionate patti does a little undercover work. 6. Shape up or slip out! 7. Love for sail.

[@tylerd4884]

i don’t differentiate between point and click, walk around and click or text parser games and consider them widely the same genre but others probably disagree

[@Fortefyre]

See I'm the same way to be honest.

[@benbonaventura2650]

Good sir... I invite you to play any intiteration of Zac McCracken before deciding the worstest moon logic AND the depths of wtf lazy LucasArts was capable of... I will leave you with this synopsis: To this day I am haunted by an airport adjacent squirrel

[@Fortefyre]

Oh God, I was actually looking forward to those lmao.

[@Kenneth86666]

Larry 6 is my favorite Larry game. I know this game by heart. I play this once a year.

[@Fortefyre]

I'm glad you have a game like that! I have a friend that plays Snatcher once a year lol

[@RetroGamingNook]

Still, always great to see these games highlighted. I was in my early 20s when Sam and Max came out so I liked the humor. I get the puzzles are not the best, but over all a it’s a like for me because of the comments from the protagonists. Some games are always great. Some games you just play at the right time in life to make them good… I’m sure the same thing can make them bad. Cheers!

[@Fortefyre]

I'm totally stealing the last part of that "some games you just play at the right time to make it good" that's a powerful statement!

[@RetroGamingNook]

@@Fortefyre Thanks, I am really enjoying your "10" lists.

[@Fortefyre]

I'm glad! Thank you!

[@pharmcat8484]

I forgot one from last time, you might also like Shannara.

[@Fortefyre]

Like...Terry Brooks' Shannara?

[@The_Smoother]

When I was young, I wanted a computer, just for leasure suit Larry. I was 11 ish so it was a pipe dream. I’m sure I thought it’s a lot raunchier than it is lol. But BMX triple x came through later in life 😂

[@Fortefyre]

I never played that but it lived in infamy alongside The Guy Game haha

[@pharmcat8484]

My idea for a video is 10 Best/Worst strategy games. StarCraft, Lords of Magic, Ogre Battle, that kind of thing.

[@Fortefyre]

I'll add it to the list, I need to play more.

[@mesutoezilfan6688]

Comon DejaVu is not a bad game it is pure Gold against EVERY 3Do point and klick game

[@Fortefyre]

I agree, but in the overall scope of what it does, it falls short.

[@animaljere]

i found your take on space quest 6 very interesting i was very young and loved the space quest games when 6 came out, and had just gotten a 486 or pentium ii or something, i saw the graphics as much of an improvement and to me the puzzle quests were just like the other space quest games, very challenging with a bit of crazy logic and not a ton of clues yes the datacorder thing was ridiculous though lol anyway just thought i'd chime in as a fan of the game who honestly probably didnt have the perception as a 10 year old to recognize the games constr

[@Fortefyre]

That's an awesome memory! Thank you so much for sharing it!

[@animaljere]

fo sho! i never quite thought about how space quest 6 is kinda just its own clunky game without a lot of connection to the other games, and i played it several times yet i dont remember the story as much as the other space quest games i remember clearly@@Fortefyre

[@Fortefyre]

I'm the same way about Final Fantasy II on the SNES. Like it's a good game, but for a game to be a GREAT game it needs to have that lasting impact.

[@animaljere]

I agree about Final Fantasy 2, I played Final Fantasy 3 on American SNES and it was such a great game it just seemed like all the music and the stories of the characters and everything was really designed to be very emotionally driven and with down-to-earth sentimental qualities of the characters, I don't remember having the same experience from Final Fantasy 2 but dang it's been a long time since I played

[@Fortefyre]

3 on SNES was a masterpiece!

[@jedipookie]

I pretty much disagree on all your negative-led lists, but I still support your opinion

[@Fortefyre]

I love your username lol. Thank you for being tolerant of my opinion!

[@cbo1080]

Have you ever played Willy Beamish?

[@Fortefyre]

I haven't no, I know what it is, I just haven't played it.

[@SegaCDUniverse]

I click too close to my wife all the time, big deal. Get over it police quest

[@Fortefyre]

I also get killed by my wife by touching her too many times especially when she's busy lol

[@gamingtheologian8515]

If you do the best ones I recommend Maniac Mansion

[@Fortefyre]

I've yet to play that one, I need to at some point.

[@maxmustermann9115]

Intereseting . Except for the first three I really liked them all. And even the worst on this list is not even close to the worst 100 I`ve played ( over 1000 so far, with a lot of short fan adeventures).

[@Fortefyre]

I hope to play more in the future!

[@tylerd4884]

I always wanted to like myst and riven but i dont started torin last night, got stuck trying to get slugs for slughetti. will get back to it. what the fuck is wrong with torins pet …”cat” its funny gog wanted to sell me dragonsphere and the pictures for it looked pretty awesome

[@Fortefyre]

Boogle is nightmare fuel lmao

[@tylerd4884]

he really is and i haven't even seen him transform yet

[@Fortefyre]

*breathes heavily*

[@michaeltylerstewart]

Man, pick ANY Dreamcatcher game. Just throw a dart at a board. Or better yet, I'll just go with The Crystal Key. Fuck that game. Great box art, even BETTER soundtrack, affordable price, but there's a turd in CD format in that retail box.

[@Fortefyre]

I honestly have never heard of this company, and I feel that the morbid curiosity is going to kill me lmao.

[@michaeltylerstewart]

@@Fortefyre I guarantee you've seen the games and made the correct decision to not purchase them. But the soundtracks are an ear worm.

[@Swim.Shaaady]

Bro, every video I get more and more sure that we are somehow related, my taste in games is almost IDENTICAL to yours it's insane. 8 out of 10 of these shitty games are EXACTLY the ones I would of picked. Especially Teenagent, absolutely HORRIFIC. imagine playing Secret of Monkey Island, then going to fucking TEENAGENT 😂😂😂

[@Fortefyre]

To me it sounds like you enjoy understanding the framework of what you're playing vs just staring at a monitor!

[@Swim.Shaaady]

@@Fortefyre 🥹🥹🥹 you get me, you really get me! 🤣🤣🤣
