Point'n'click games

Day of the Tentacle

I had lots of fun playing this when I was a kid.

I'd recommend all the Lucas Arts adventures except maybe Maniac Mansion, Zak McKraken

What? You evil bastard, don't destroy my childhood memories!

Maniac Mansion was a pretty special game, weird setting and story, but though very easy to solve (multiple endings) versus other point&click games of that era.

Zak McKraken however, definitely in my top 5 of adventure games, that game was and is still hilarious, excellent puzzles and problem solving, you can actually fail by using things wrong leaving you stuck, not easy to complete.

Maniac Mansion was my first point and click game and Edna scared the shit out of me! Also I never found out there was a save game feature even on my C64 and no Internet or anything to get clues, damn I was proud when I beat the game.

Zak McKraken was just awesome.

The Walking Dead by Telltale Games. Modern and most excellent. Best game of 2012.

i liked Edna & Harvey: The Breakout and Edna & Harvey: Harvey’s New Eyes a lot, but like other games of Daedalic (The Whispered World or Chains of Satinav) they can be quite depressing sometimes.

Now you're mentioning L'Amerzone it reminded me of:

Flight Of The Amazon Queen 1995

Great point&click game, not as epic as the Indiana Jones ones -- which it obviously is very inspired of -- but just as fun to play.

Interestingly enough the Amiga version had a superior sound and music side to it, whereas the PC version had the better graphics (plus voice acting).

Flight of the Amazon Queen is free on SCUMMVM website too. Dreamweb is also a pretty decent cyberpunk adventure on there. Very adult orientated adventure with a pretty dark premise. It even came with a little novel with some backstory. Not sure how well they stand up now though, like most of these they are probably pretty dated. Beneath a Steel Sky was also pretty good. All free on Scummvm website

Played both pink panther point & click games. That was closer to my birth than the present day.

The Quest for Glory games were amazing. Reasonably challenging puzzles, great story line and some unique RPG elements.

As for newer games available on Steam, Primordia was pretty good. Didn't mind Chains of Satinav either.

Check out AGS if you haven't already: http://www.adventuregamestudio.co.uk/. Plenty of indi developers making good games with this program. The Ben Jordan: Paranormal Investigator series is a good example.
