My all time favourite point'n'click adventure games (limited to those playable in ScummVM for obvious reasons ;) ) in no particular order:

* Secret of the Monkey Island
* Day of the Tentacle
* The Dig
* Flight of the Amazon Queen
* Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
* Beneath a Steel Sky
* Broken Sword: Shadow of the Templars

(yes it's a majority of LucasArts....)

Microsoft released the source for GW-BASIC (1983) and reading it is a wild ride.

This code has everything

* Double-precision floating-point library
* Kanji support
* Leftover code from the Altair 8800

How come i had never played "Flight of the Amazon Queen" before?

It's now one of my favourite point'n'click adventure games!

Released in 1995 for Amiga and DOS(+CDRom!), it became "freeware" in 2004 and thus playable with ScummVM \o/ where it can be downloaded today, also packaged in Debian <3

Perfect mix of Monkey Island, Indiana Jones (FoA) and The Dig! Wonderful decors, funny dialogues, not too difficult. A true gem! <3
