When I was growing up I fell in love with the point and click adventure genre, which was booming in the 90′s. I spent hours with games like The Secret of Monkey Island, Space Quest, and Maniac Mansion. These games were challenging and often hilarious. In game solutions were often the punchlines themselves. These days however, the genre is on life support. There is hope however: the rise of touch gaming via tablets and smart phones presents a perfect medium for the return of this once vibrant genre.

Is Snatcher and Policenauts considered to be adventure games? Those games are cult classics right now, I can't find a version on ebay for less than 100 bucks.
Metal Gear Mark II is actually from Snatcher, loved it when it appeared in MGS4! :)
Flashback remake and I'll die happy.
He is right this genre is making a comeback on the Iphone.
I loved spacequest and kingsquest from sierra.
Hope they come to the Iphone to.
I missed all the great Lucasarts adventure games, shame nowadays Lucasarts is just a name that farms out everything to other developers.
I'm waiting for someone to say "THEY ARE ALREADY BACK CUZ OF UNCHARTED 2".
