Husband, Father, Software Engineer (PHP, go, etc.). Lover of Star Trek and anime.

Looking for other things to do, such as writing, acting, voice acting, but not really finding the time for it. Maybe when my kids are a little older, I'll get back on stage.

Feeling pretty bleak about the future of the United States. #NeverTrump

I got a computer for my kids for Christmas. I've been setting it up for them, and they really like playing retro games. So, in addition to RetroArch and a bunch of old console games, I also installed @[email protected] with a handful of adventure games that I've loved since I was a kid (Monkey Island, King's Quest, Maniac Mansion).

I'm looking for suggestions for other ScummVM compatible games that adventurous kids might like that may be less well known.

Any point and click adventure games you played as a kid that you could recommend?

@danjones000 @scummvm How about Broken Sword, Beneath a Steel Sky, Discworld, Flight of the Amazon Queen, Indiana Jones 3 & 4, Legend of Kyrandia, Toonstruck, to name a few.

Robee? Na! 🌈

@danjones000 @scummvm The Neverhood is very unique! And Grim Fandango is well known but perhaps not immediately obvious as a Scumm game. I loved the Indiana Jones games, Sam & Max Hit the Road is wonderfully funny, The Dig is a super sci-fi story, Full Throttle is great, and then Cruise for a Corpse and James Bond: The Stealth Affair bring me fond memories!
