Thanks again for this time travel, OSG. Played most of those games back in the days. Totally agree with your nostalgical factor. Maniac Mansion on C64 was my first game into this genre and always will be my first place by heart. ☺️
Loving the video OSG thank you for doing this. Brings back memories of my first experience of playing Monkey Island on mates Amiga 500, it simply blew me away. Point and click games from this era are the genesis of the open world games we have today.
Curse of Enchantia was another point and click game I played. However, I never completed it as I found the puzzles quite hard. I would love to have another go now though.
Some of these titles I missed back in my Amiga days ... now that the A500 mini is coming out, I've got them on my bucket list!! Also, never knew about that number 11 ... you just blew my mind!
I am in that camp of putting Simon the Scorerer as the best point n click, of course the Moneky Island games are amazing but for me the fantasy setting just clinched it. Dream Web is an excellent choice and Quest for the Orb I had completely forgotten but the moment I saw the animals that triggered memories of that game. Great video as always!
Ahh! My daily dose of nostalgia courtesy of OSG. I never owned an Amiga as I preferred more arcade style games and the Amiga just wasn't up to the job, but there were a few games that caught my eye with TSOMI being one of them.
Bit late to the party on this one. But a lot of these games kept me up to all hours of the night even on school days, but man they was good times. Few of the games on the list I never got around to giving a go so it's time I do. Great stuff as always buddy.
Most of these I never played or even known about them. Back then, I didn't liked point and click games but now, I can see myself playing some of these.
Not long discovered ur channel..lovin it mate 👍..I remember seeing sensible soccer and secret of monkey Island both in a shop next to each other on demo ..think it was on amiga ..me and my mates were blown away ..I'll never forget it
I used to love Shadowgate on the NES when I was a kid. I never played any amiga games but I just ordered a Super Console X pro and I'm looking forward to checking some amiga games out.
Great video, totally agree with Monkey Island at no. 1. Best music, graphics and humour ever! Also enjoyed Curse of Enchantia, that would be somewhere in my top 5.
Monkey Island 2 takes the top position for me, but MI1 at top is not too bad either :) Great video, Amiga adventures were just sooo good, and Operation Stealth was one I remember in particular - I couldnt agree more with you, the action bits only detracted what could have been an even better adventure. But still, love the video mate, well done.
Great list, and a couple of titles there I need to check out. And while I am a fan of the Lucas games, I never had the chance to play Loom properly on real hardware. One I did like back then was Deja Vu, which sort of sits in that awkward phase between text adventure and point & click - it has elements of both, and a great storyline.
I agree with your #1. Some great games there. The Simon the Sorcerer games had beautiful graphics! I really should play them. Got a lot of love for Loom. A remake of that could be amazing if they took their time and did it properly.
Excellent video ! Well done , mate. Although I never played Gobliins 2 , Clue , Inherit the earth or Dreamweb. I love the other 16 along with a couple of more.
Several best Amiga games, i recommend to everybody, are: - ZAK MCKRACKEN AND THE ALIEN MINDBENDERS - MANIAC MANSION - LURE OF THE TEMPTRESS - THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND - MONKEY ISLAND 2 - FUTURE WARS - CRUISE FOR A CORPSE - DREAMWEB - INHERIT THE EARTH: QUEST FOR ORB - INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE - INDIANA JONES AND THE FATE OF ATLANTIS - LOOM I still have MANIAC MANSION, LOOM and ZAK McKRACKEN AND THE ALIEN MINDBENDERS on My Amiga 500. Thanx for an awesome Amiga game reaction video. 😺👍🕹️
Monkey, monkey, that is such a cool game I still play it now the music on Amiga stuff is always outstanding if you have good speakers, as a teenager I used to have my 500+ connected to my all in one hifi thing so sounded damn good now I have even better speakers that makes it sound amazing. My joint top is last crusade and monkey 1, last crusade is my fav indy film, I have not played fate of atlantis but may give it a try.
As you mentioned, the problem with the late LucasArts Amiga releases was, that they were painful to play without a hard drive. (Which was unthinkable and unaffordable for most users at the time)... Monkey Island 2 and Fate of Atlantis came on 11 disks each. You felt more like a DJ than a player. I had the privilege to enjoy both of these (and many more) on my dad's capable freelance home PC. Good times.
Nice list. A few ones on there I haven't played yet so I know what I will be doing during my next vacation. I love the Monkey Island games but Zak McKracken is my number one. I think the setting is more original and the whole game has that epic and mysterious feel to it. Getting Zak to Mars was one of the most exciting moments for me in front of a computer.
Being a adult Amiga owner back then I was drawn to this genre, more mature titles. Great list! There's some classics here that I spent many a night burning the midnight oil. Cheers for adding Future Wars m8, that game got me hooked till I completed it, Delphine made some class games. Like you said, no surprise what was top, Monkey Island is legendary! How about a follow up vid? Point n click games in other genres....Lemmings, Mega Lo Mania, Dune II, Millenium 2.2, Supremacy, Cannon Fodder....there's loads :)
Thats a great list. Some of my favorites. Happy to see Sierra get shafted. Kings Quest and Liesure Suit Larry are fun... but early 80s tech. So outdated on the Amiga. I might add some Cinemaware games like It Came From the Desert, or the gun BAT and BAT II games. I know they had arcade elements within the point and click
Top notch list! I played most of them recently and can cofirm all of them are worth checking out. Kyrandia is to slow paced, collecting those gems and getting through the cave is annoying and I wouldnt include it, especially if there are so many neat Sierra Adventures. The Amiga really has an awesome library of Point'n Click Adventures, you could easily add 20 more to the list and still you end up having no real stinker listed. I would also recommend some lesser known games like: Dark Seed, Hook and The Adventures of Willy Beamish. TSOMI is and will be forever Number 1, its more an experience then a game - The Mona Lisa of Adventures games if you will. Keep up the great work.
Right. I need to fire up my A1200 one of these days. I was actually in the middle of a Flight of the Amazon Queen playthrough, when I had to take a break for retro stuff for a while. I guess I should finish it off.
Hey man, love your videos! I played the hell out of Monkey Island 1+2 when i was younger and also really liked Beneath a Steel Sky, though both on MS-DOS. Also i never got to play it much but my mate had Dreamweb on the Amiga when we were about 11, and I remember him saying he had to get his mom to buy it from Virgin Megastore, so i assume it must have had some kind of age rating.
I had Operation Stealth on Atari ST. It was a good game, but frustrating, because items would disappear from the inventory and I didn't know why. I often found myself stuck because apparently I'd done something wrong on an earlier part of the game, but I had no idea what it was. I've never been a big fan of point & click adventures, the only ones I'm sure I played through were Day of the Tentacle, Toonstruck and Gabriel Knight 3. Fun fact about Gabriel Knight 3: it was partly based on the same book that Dan Brown used as the basis for Da Vinci Code. But the game was made several years earlier. When I read the book, there was nothing new in it for me, because I already knew all of it from the game. And the game was better. (Yeah, these are much newer games, I know. I never really played this genre on the older systems.)
Got an Amiga 500 mini, and the 4100 in 1 USB from Amazon, genuinely, so far..... every game i have hoped is on there, is on there... And all work great
Good list. I wish you included Larry or Space Quest series here, or at least made an honorable mention. I suggest maybe creating best Sierra adventure games ever made!! Still good job!
Great list, I’d have maybe put Darkseed and Curse of Enchantia in there somewhere, only because I had them as a kid. Can’t disagree with the top 5 though. Although I never played Fate of Atlantis, I always thought it looked awesome. No idea why I never bought it!
Damn right I knew The Secret of Monkey Island was gonna be top spot. I did think number 2 was gonna be number 2 on the list though. Loved those games that much that a got a full sleeve and chest tattooed in the very theme =)
What a tough choice for this video. I always liked Lure of the temptress but it had one of the worst endings of any amiga game. There's an idea for a video if you haven't already done it: most disappointing endings!
Worth noting the main character in Cruise for a Corpse is a vector based graphics, just like Delphine's Another World used, makes for some smooth animation in the player character. Very nice that StS2 actually released for Amiga, more than a few cases where a game gets released away from a fanbase Eg. Shenmue2 only on OG Xbox in NA. Interesting list where releases criss cross with DOS and the disk ones versus CD titles. Depends on the design but I kind of liked the P&Cs that had some minigame elements. A lot of this genre has so many versions, different graphics, voice versions, console versions, and Japanese versions sometimes, definitely the boon time. I mostly played DOS versions of Lucasarts titles bitd along with some Mega CD P&Cs like Rise of the Dragon during the 90s. Sam & Max, Full Throttle, The Dig, I was kind of late with those since I remember I got a budget pack heh.
My kids really love Simon the Sorcerer on the CD32. Much easier to control with the mouse. The last click and point game I played was Sixth Sense Investigations.
Yay, This was always goib to be one that I'd be curious what you put in or left out...I've neer heard of future wars or operation stealth. I think that's more to do with getting an Amiga in '91 and not really looking at what came out before. Innocent until caught was interesting too. Incredibly difficult mind...In terms of best point and clicks of all time I'd go for either Monkey island like you say or day of the tentacle, But we're obviously into PC territory there...Great list, keep 'em coming! lol
I played Indy IV back on my Amiga 500. And this game was SLOW. But I didn't mind too much, because the game was so great. And I played again when I got my A1200+HD.
I played quite a few of these back in the day. Back when you had to call a premium rate phone number if you got stuck. I remember loving Operation Stealth but I got stuck on a stupid sequence where you had to swim to safety from a flooded cavern. It was so tight with the breath meter and I just couldn't do it and gave up I think, shame. I might have a dusty old A1200 in the loft at my moms house, half tempted to try and find it . . and then deal with how on earth to connect it to a modern TV.
1200s arent that hard to get connected to a modern tv mate. I only have a A500 and had to buy a scart cable for that. I always wanted a 1200... you need to get that out of the loft thats a crime having it up there lol
_Gobliins 2_ is funny but with ridiculously convoluted puzzles that 99% of people out there will not be able to solve without a "hint guide". Perhaps intentional? _The Secret of Monkey Island_ truly deserves to be at the top. In a class all by itself. I always felt it would have made a great movie in the right hands, but it would probably be too late now.
After seeing Kyrandia at no.20 I suspected this would make less sense than an Amiga Rob upload! But can see why now - there really were some truly great point 'n' click games for our beloved Amiga ✊ Big shout also to Deja Vu, Nippon Safes, and Rise Of The Dragon - I spent many happy hours playing and completing those; the stories and anecdotes I could share, should we ever meet 😏
Back then I loved point and click adventures, but had an ST, so would always see these games and hardly ever get ST versions. For me, I think Gobliiins was my favorite, but might just have been my sense of humour. Personally I never got into Monkey Island.
Star Trek: 25th Anniversary on the A1200 was fantastic. Such a shame the Amiga never got the sequel - Judgement Rites - which uses exactly the same game engine. Elvira: Mistress of the Dark were brilliant. Elvira Mistress of the Dark was a lot of fun too.
Big fan of point and clicks, but have to admit, did not play many on Amiga. Simon the Sorcerer i finished many times on my CD33, Beneath a Steel Sky also on CD32. A few others i tried, but not for as much time with the 2 mentioned. I liked Gobliiins, but not played 2nd or 3rd. Im still looking for my Monkey Island 1 box, only got the second, but it was not surprising to see what got the top spot. Shame about Simon the Sorcerer 2, but i do have it on PC.
@@oldstylegaming Oh without a doubt mate the Speccy was my childhood, just seeing so many titles on the Amiga i would of loved to sink my teeth into as a kid lol
Good stuff here OSG. I'm wondering if you're thinking of buying the Amiga mini due to be released next year? I'm thinking about it although the absence of a working keyboard is off putting. Thanks.
I've played all 20 of them and spent thousands of hours on them. Objectively, some versions are (much) better on Pc, but they are still fantastic games on Amiga as well.
@@MarkWhich Oh yeah? I'd say the adventure part of it is more memorable than the strategic slog but whatever. Dune 2 on the other hand easily in the top 5 strategies on Amiga.
Its a weird one cos they do use point and click too even if they are RTS , even games like lemmings could fall into that category too in some way... i just tried to stick to adventure point and clicks here though
Amiga was number 1 ..back in the day I had an atari st ,and although I did really love it ,I was alway jealous of amiga ..it just done everything better .okay maybe like 3 games on st might have beaten amiga ,but that was only because amiga did try with them ...anyway amiga is just brilliant and was king for a long time
@@oldstylegaming Cheers mate, you're a good man. I'll do a comprehensive search first and I'll let you know how I go, but us Gen-X's know how to find our way around with tech, should be fine 👍
before i watch i'm gonna guess one or more of leisure suit larry games, one or more of the monkey island games and beneath a steel sky is on the list, i was one of the first to by beneath a steel sky and i cracked it;s multi level protection
i always liked Point n Clickers, i know they're slow but i cant say i've ever NOT enjoyed a Point n Click, it's a genre that's rarely seen today but i know it was a huge genre for PC gamers back in the day.
I'm surprised lemmings isn't on the list considering what you define as games in this genre without including any King's Quest games etc. it should also be noted that the Legend of Kyrandia is only the first of a trilogy...but yes yes tye others didn't come out on amiga, but still a relevant piece of info.
@@oldstylegaming because I hear voice acting in some games, like inherit the earth and beneath a steel sky and I don't remember that being on amiga 500, or even 1200
@@drunkensailor112 Beneath a steel sky is CD32 footage, Inherit the earth is 1200 (but the talking version was only released not too long ago) Simon The sorcerer 2 is Amiga CD.
I never understood why LucasArts & Sierra didn't release compilations of their point & click adventures on the Wii & the DS. They would have been the perfect platform for those games.
Great list although i will disagree on many things. I hate the goblin series completely random without any kind of logic. Clue for me is not a graphic adventure.but for me the biggest exclusion were rise of the dragon and king´s quest 6. KQ6 may be slow on amiga, but the plot, puzzles are perfect. simply one of my fave graphic adventures of all time.
I finished half of those games :) Indiana Jones 4 and Monkey Island 2 do look worse than the PC versions, but! The scrolling is better. Music is better too (except if you play the CD ROM version of Monkey Island

So many great point & clicks, my fave is Beneath a Steel Sky.
Yeah mate and all of them so beautiful. Like the cut scenes on some of these could pass for modern day games
Agree with you dude
that's one game that GoG converted to be played on Windows, and that one was a good one.
Bit late to the party on this one. But a lot of these games kept me up to all hours of the night even on school days, but man they was good times. Few of the games on the list I never got around to giving a go so it's time I do. Great stuff as always buddy.
Aw, amazing list. Nice to see Inherit The Earth getting some love. Clue was a completely new one for me though.

Brilliant video!, brought back a lot of memories and a good retrospective too. Thanks dude
A fine list. Although I would have shoved in Goblins 1 also. A game where trial and, especially, error is extremely fun.
Great video, totally agree with Monkey Island at no. 1. Best music, graphics and humour ever! Also enjoyed Curse of Enchantia, that would be somewhere in my top 5.

One I did like back then was Deja Vu, which sort of sits in that awkward phase between text adventure and point & click - it has elements of both, and a great storyline.
Fantastic retrospective. Great to see examples of the genre on systems beyond the usual MS-DOS suspects! 👏👏
I agree with your #1. Some great games there. The Simon the Sorcerer games had beautiful graphics! I really should play them. Got a lot of love for Loom. A remake of that could be amazing if they took their time and did it properly.
Superb, loved this genre and there’s a couple I’ve never played but will definitely be checking out!
Man nice Video, can understand your sequence of games.
Excellent video ! Well done , mate. Although I never played Gobliins 2 , Clue , Inherit the earth or Dreamweb. I love the other 16 along with a couple of more.
Really great list. So many titles I had never heard of but will surely give a try.
Fantastic job from a fantastic person!!!
Thank you kindly!
Several best Amiga games, i recommend to everybody, are:
- ZAK MCKRACKEN AND THE ALIEN MINDBENDERS
- MANIAC MANSION
- LURE OF THE TEMPTRESS
- THE SECRET OF MONKEY ISLAND
- MONKEY ISLAND 2
- FUTURE WARS
- CRUISE FOR A CORPSE
- DREAMWEB
- INHERIT THE EARTH: QUEST FOR ORB
- INDIANA JONES AND THE LAST CRUSADE
- INDIANA JONES AND THE FATE OF ATLANTIS
- LOOM
I still have MANIAC MANSION, LOOM and ZAK McKRACKEN AND THE ALIEN MINDBENDERS on My Amiga 500. Thanx for an awesome Amiga game reaction video. 😺👍🕹️

Cruise For A Corpse!
I can remember the spinning code wheel for getting into the game, bloody nightmare.

A few others i tried, but not for as much time with the 2 mentioned. I liked Gobliiins, but not played 2nd or 3rd. Im still looking for my Monkey Island 1 box, only got the second, but it was not surprising to see what got the top spot. Shame about Simon the Sorcerer 2, but i do have it on PC.
I had a right nightmare installing simon 2 it was getting all f*cked up sound and resolution wise
The 3rd Monkey Island is a great game. Still looks like it cold come out today.
Myst, Valhalla? I spent hours playing the Valhalla series and Myst. Notebooks, maps and mugs of coffee for all nighters
Good times... you just dont get that with modern games... especially now when you get stuck you just 2 clicks away from a playthrough
My favourites were: Monkey Island and Operation Stealth. Granted I never played like Fate of the Atlantis and Beneath a steel sky..
Really wish i had grown up with a Amiga, i was 35 before i owned one, being a Speccy owner as a kid the Amiga passed me by its a real shame
Yeah but i bet you still have good memories of the speccy though
@@oldstylegaming Oh without a doubt mate the Speccy was my childhood, just seeing so many titles on the Amiga i would of loved to sink my teeth into as a kid lol
Good stuff here OSG. I'm wondering if you're thinking of buying the Amiga mini due to be released next year? I'm thinking about it although the absence of a working keyboard is off putting. Thanks.
i dont think so mate, i have a real Amiga and multiple emus like Amiga forever etc
Solid list. For me, though, the Space Quest games are number one, with Sam and Max Hit the Road and Full Throttle coming in closely behind.
there are so many great ones i could have had a much longer list tbh
@@oldstylegaming Absolutely.
I've played all 20 of them and spent thousands of hours on them. Objectively, some versions are (much) better on Pc, but they are still fantastic games on Amiga as well.
Great list. Personally I would squeeze Dune in as well although not pure point and click.
Dune is a Strategy game, and yes it has some point-and-click adventure elements, but it belongs on a Top-20 Strategy games list, not here.
@@MarkWhich Oh yeah? I'd say the adventure part of it is more memorable than the strategic slog but whatever. Dune 2 on the other hand easily in the top 5 strategies on Amiga.
Its a weird one cos they do use point and click too even if they are RTS , even games like lemmings could fall into that category too in some way... i just tried to stick to adventure point and clicks here though
Have you played kgb? Would easily make this list
Amiga was number 1 ..back in the day I had an atari st ,and although I did really love it ,I was alway jealous of amiga ..it just done everything better .okay maybe like 3 games on st might have beaten amiga ,but that was only because amiga did try with them ...anyway amiga is just brilliant and was king for a long time
Where the hell can you download Inherit The Earth and Simon The Sorcerer 2 from? 😯✊👍 I REALLY want to get stuck into them.
They about on the internet, but if you are struggling let me know and ill upload them for you later
@@oldstylegaming
Cheers mate, you're a good man. I'll do a comprehensive search first and I'll let you know how I go, but us Gen-X's know how to find our way around with tech, should be fine 👍
I knew Monkey Island is on first place! 👍
Monkey island.. played so many times i can now play from start to finish without looking at tips mags.
I've spoken with apes more polite than you!
you missed off leisure suit larry series :P haha
before i watch i'm gonna guess one or more of leisure suit larry games, one or more of the monkey island games and beneath a steel sky is on the list, i was one of the first to by beneath a steel sky and i cracked it;s multi level protection
i always liked Point n Clickers, i know they're slow but i cant say i've ever NOT enjoyed a Point n Click, it's a genre that's rarely seen today but i know it was a huge genre for PC gamers back in the day.
Indiana jones and the fate of atlantis, I love that game
I always wanted a commodore amiga as a kid, but they were just out of my reach. Alas, I had my trusty C64😊
Nowt wrong with the c64 ;-)
@@oldstylegaming well except how sometimes they dont want to work that is. XD
Missed two of my favourites off the list plan 9 From outer space and the curse of enchantia brilliant games u should check out osg
I have Plan 9 in my best Amiga Movie based games video
A M I G A ! ! !
Why aren't space quest or kings quest given a mention
I'm surprised lemmings isn't on the list considering what you define as games in this genre without including any King's Quest games etc. it should also be noted that the Legend of Kyrandia is only the first of a trilogy...but yes yes tye others didn't come out on amiga, but still a relevant piece of info.
The genre is so open ended tbh so tried to stick with adventure
Are you playing on cd32? Or emulation?
I have a a500 but these are emulated...why?
@@oldstylegaming because I hear voice acting in some games, like inherit the earth and beneath a steel sky and I don't remember that being on amiga 500, or even 1200
@@drunkensailor112 Beneath a steel sky is CD32 footage, Inherit the earth is 1200 (but the talking version was only released not too long ago) Simon The sorcerer 2 is Amiga CD.
I never understood why LucasArts & Sierra didn't release compilations of their point & click adventures on the Wii & the DS. They would have been the perfect platform for those games.
Sierra was basically bankrupt and sold over a few times by then, and I guess the owners didn't see a market.
I preferred Last Crusade to Atlantis, honestly.
Lechucks revenge should have been on here
When games were fun.
Great list although i will disagree on many things. I hate the goblin series completely random without any kind of logic. Clue for me is not a graphic adventure.but for me the biggest exclusion were rise of the dragon and king´s quest 6. KQ6 may be slow on amiga, but the plot, puzzles are perfect. simply one of my fave graphic adventures of all time.
second this KQ6 opinion. But my experience is on pc
If U like Beneath A Steel Sky you can try Primordia game. BTW... Nice list. My favorite title is Dreamweb.
Is that on Amiga?
@@oldstylegaming no, no. On pc but feeling like on 16bit computer.
@@pierrenagonio oh ill check that out mate :-)
I finished half of those games :)
Indiana Jones 4 and Monkey Island 2 do look worse than the PC versions, but! The scrolling is better. Music is better too (except if you play the CD ROM version of Monkey Island
nice..but Hook is missing..
No Kings Quest?
fate of atlantis was a book
Not exactly a Sierra fan, are you? Great list anyway, I think Dark Seed should have made it instead of 4-5 of these titles but it's a matter of taste.
