    Maybe it's uncool to like it, but I thought Myst was a very good game, and it was certainly a point and click.

    There's quite a few I left off too.

    Grim Fandango!
    It's an adventure game.. I wouldn't really call it a point and click. Do you even have a cursor in that game?

    Then what is it you're going for? King's Quest II-IV (and I, unless you're talking about the remake) used a parser, and only on some platforms was there a cursor for movement only. The same goes for Quest for Glory I (and II, I think), as well as The Colonel's Bequest.

    No interest in the Space Quest or Police Quest series? What about Leisure Suit Larry?

    If you're looking for a list to jog your memory, take a look at http://scummvm.org/compatibility/.

    Whoops. You're right, but I've got the VGA remakes of 1-3 and I wasn't even thinking about the older official ones. Quest for glory one had a VGA remake by Sierra and an unofficial but licenced remake of the second one. But Colonels Bequest shouldn't be there

    You beat me to those. Loved those games.
    The only other I can think of at the moment would be Silverload.

    The more mainstream ones in line with the ones above...

    - The Longest Journey (original not Dreamfall)
    - Codename: Iceman
    - Rex Nebular
    - Les Manley series
    - Altered Destiny

    Could go on forever with others...

    Just for fun look for Riana Rouge.

    -Not sure its any good, but it's a Sierra point and click so it seems to belong.

    The Gene Machine is pretty decent. Also, check out the Duckman game, although finding a physical copy is nearly impossible. I also enjoyed Harvester more than I probably should have. And one of the writers for my site says that Tequila and Boom Boom is really good too.

    These might not all be retro, but I'd definitely recommend them all. They all go under "2.5D", so it might not be quite your thing, except for D which is all prerendered 3D. But still, I would really suggest that you try them out.

    The Longest Journey pretty much revived the point and click adventure genre when it was released. Damned good game, fantastic story, great settings and characters, awesome dialogue, etc. Should be played by any fan of the genre.

    Still Life and the Syberia games are very good modern pointy clicky adventures. Great stories and characters. And regarding the Syberia games, it's more like one game that was released in two halves.

    Another modern point and click adventure game is Gray Matter. This game is rather new, but with ex Sierra game designer Jane Jensen(King's Quest VI, Gabriel Knight series) behind the wheels, this should be on any adventure gamer's list of games to play. And I must say I seriously recommend it, too!

    D is an adventure for the PlayStation, really, but it's quite good. It's a bit slow to move about, because it's all prerendered 3D videos, including videos for every action you do. Another quirk is that you've only got 2 hours to play through the game from start to finish. If you don't manage that, you're dead. Yes, that means two hours of gameplay despite three game discs. You'll be sick of the name "Laura" for the rest of your life after playing this game, but it's worth it, in my opinion. There're also a few different endings to the game, based on certain choices you make. Slow, short, but good story, atmosphere, and scare value, and probably one of the creepiest and most scary games ever to hit the PlayStation.

    Zork: Grand Inquisitor and Muppet Treasure Island are worth checking out if you can find them.
