Anybody else love these as much as I did? Some of my all-time favorite games were text input, and later point-and-click: Space Quest King's Quest The Dig Full Throttle Day of the Tentacle Gabriel Knight series Laura Bow series (A Colonel's Bequests and The Dagger of Amon-Ra) Willy Beamish Leisure Suit Larry Police Quest (pre-SWAT) |

I don't think I ever beat a single one of them, but I loved the challenge of them. And the agony of not saving my game every two minutes in the Space Quest games. I feel like I died every 90 seconds in those games. If we go into lockdown again, I need to find these and start wasting all of my time. |

Recently came back around to playing these. Especially Space Quest 5, after my son watched a Game Grumps play through and wanted to try it out. I’ve also played a few homage games that were really good. Thimbleweed Park comes to mind. |
