Some of the big titles that came from this era were The 7th Guest, Myst, Loom, Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, The Secret of Monkey Island, Grim Fandango, Sam & Max Hit The Road, Sanitarium (a personal favorite), and a swath of others. Each of these games were essentially tests of intelligence, reasoning, and creative thinking. If there was no connection, nothing would happen.


Should there be some kind of connection, the story would progress (sometimes for better and sometimes for worse). The concept was very simple: The player controlled their character by clicking on objects or places on the screen that they wished to interact with.

In the early and mid-90’s, a widely popular and utilized video game format was the point-and-click adventure.
