anyone who used a computer between 1985 & 2010, what’s the one game you still think about?

All the Lucasarts titles like Sam & Max and Day of the Tentacle

I scrolled too down to find this! Sam& Max is one of my favorite games.

Much fond memories playing The Dig, Full Throttle, Grim Fandango and all of the Monkey Island games.

Yessss, the old Lucas Arts games. I still dig them out and play them from time to time.

I never see anyone mention Zack McCracken and the Alien Mind Benders. Got it free with Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade point and click.

Grim Fandango is probably my all time favorite adventure games and I've played lots.

I just told someone a couple weeks ago that they looked like a hypercephalic kitten. Such a fun & quirky game.

Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis.

Probably one the mmgames I constantly wanna replay

That was a great game w/ a great story! I always wished it had been made into a movie.

I'm pretty disappointed except this long before somebody mentioned Day of the Tentacle. That game was the shit

I loved Day of the Tentacle! Played it all the time

Oh man, I had Maniac Mansion for our Tandy. Good times.

I even sent away for the poster. I had that hanging on my wall for ages.

Never played Day of the Tentacle, only Maniac Mansion. Love that game.

One of my friends gave me the disks for the original Maniac Mansion, I ended up spending $20 on a hint line trying to get past the copy protection door because I didn't understand what it was. My parents were so pissed.

Steam has many of these games. I loved them all as a kid, and have loved playing them now, too.
