These games were the greatest. 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.

Huge fan of Full Throttle. I loved it. also Indy, Sam & Max, Leisure Larry, Grim Fandango.

But damn Full Throttle still gets me. I wanna play it again.

I've had Thimbleweed Park on my list for a while.

If y'all like point & click I highly, highly recommend Disco Elysium.

It’s not on PS4

Maybe I can get it for Mac?

You can! It's on Steam.
