The Art of Point-and-Click-Adventure Games – Buch mit Pixelkunst

Point & Click – Adventures waren früher mein Lieblingsgenre. Mit “Maniac Mansion” lernte ich auf dem C64er Englisch. Ich hatte keine Ahnung was ich tat, aber “Use Key with Door” schloss halt die Tür auf.

Großer Fan war ich vor allem von den Lucasfilm / Lucas Arts Games, aber natürlich habe ich auch einige Sierra-Adventures gezockt oder Spiele wie Discworld, Beneath A Steel Sky oder Simon the Sorcerer.
