A gaming community free from the hype and oversaturation of current releases, catering to gamers who wait at least 12 months after release to play a game. Whether it's price, waiting for bugs/issues to be patched, DLC to be released, don't meet the system requirements, or just haven't had the time to keep up with the latest releases.

The era of SCUMM. Point and click adventures were awesome. Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle, Leisure Suit Larry, Quest for Glory series, Indiana Jones and the fate of Atlantis.
How is Monkey Island missing from the list? Those games were the peak of SCUMM.
I know, I did try playing them with dosbox years later but I didn't know anyone that had them to borrow the discs so I hadn't played them back in the day like all the ones I named.
Scummvm is much better than the old native interpreter. And the Amiga versions are obviously better than dos though any one should work.

Hell yea, Indy Atlantis is absolute peak... then again so is most of lucasarts point&click adventure games.
Man I wish the teased sequel for atlantis was actually made :/
