Point N Click Games Ps1

[backtrax]

Psychic Detective takes the point-and-click genre in a really interest direction, but that also means it's not a traditional p&c. I liked it tho.

Silverload is a decent horror-western p&c, but there are some cheap deaths to be had, so save often.

D is the horror p&c everyone thinks of, but I hated it. I won't get into all of the why, but it's short, full of easy puzzles as well as a couple that are just time wasters, and the voice acting and story are atrocious and stupid. Worst of all the game doesn't let you save b/c it has a time limit, and two of the "puzzles" are only there to waste your time. I've never died due to the time limit running out, but I think that's just cheap.

There are a few licensed games, and they're a mixed bag, mostly sucking. X-Files was ok, but short and weird. City of Lost Children, tho, is to be avoided. I think there are a few others, but I can't think of them off the top of my head.

I am considering buying Psychic Detective it does look good, i am wondering if its like night trap.

D i have played, yep i hated it too, "laura" "laura" such terrible voice acting,i think you had 4 hours to complete, i completed it but sold it straight away on ebay.

Psychic Detective isn't really like Night Trap except conceptually. You basically look through other people's eyes to find different parts of the story, but it also means to miss certain things (it unfolds in real time, basically, and you can only watch one thing at a time). There are also changes depending on the way you say things. I dunno it's hard to explain, it's really like no other game I've ever played.

As for D, don't you mean "Low-rah! Low-rah!" And why does she always look around for like half a minute while he shouts at her.

Clock Tower isn't really a game I'd recommend either. I've heard good things about the first game (on the Super Famicom) but the PS1 game is just... ugh. It's very cheesy and doesn't make a whole lot of sense. I also don't really think the gameplay works too well. Being a p&c title, you naturally want to explore everywhere, click on everything, etc etc. The game punishes you for doing this by sending "Scissorman" after you. I never found him to be scary so much as annoying. But I'm not a big fan of running away in horror games. I like to be able to fight. (Granted you CAN fight him in certain circumstances but the game is not very intuitive as far as what you can and can't do... at all times. Interactivity is very limited to start with, and when you're being chased, it goes way down. If you like having many ways of solving a puzzle you'll hate Clock Tower.) I guess it's good for a laugh if you're into cheesy Japanese horror. It always seemed like more of a party game than a good horror or p&c title.

More votes for Echo Night & Juggernaut. Juggernaut is like a horror version of Myst, EN has some unique sepia toned graphics. Both are worth it.

Theres also Chronicles of the Sword, never played it & havent heard anything good about it.

[backtrax]

Any others that anyone can think of?

[Emperor Megas]

No games to add I'm afraid, but I wanted to say that this is a really great thread, and I got a couple of suggestions from it. Thanks guys. Keep 'em coming if there are any others.

Although it isn't a PS1 game - if you are into point and click games you should read about limbo of the lost. Point and click gone bad.

If you include D, you might look at Sentient. Very ambitious mess that can be some fun.

What about platform puzzle/adventure titles? Like Heart of Darkness or Abe's Odyssey/Exodus?

Prisoner of Ice is also on PC and Saturn, and the consol versions both permit mouse control.

Fox Hunt: Can't go wrong with Rob Lowe, George Lazenby, and Capcom. Been awhile since I played it. More of an fmv game but funny as hell.

I played that game! It was a PC game rental from a local video store. At the time I thought, "How strange. Why would CAPCOM publish a Western-developed FMV PC game?"
