The amount of hours I spend playing this game is larger then I want to admit, but the game never felt boring and it always felt great whenever I managed to progress, which often took a lot of thinking (and asking my parents). This is a great educational game and I'd love to replay it once again!

This game sparked my love for pre rendered graphics and puzzle/click and point games. The gameplay is similar to MYST. The game was originally made as an educational tool for Chemistry teachers to teach elementary grade students different chemical reactions, as an example you'll use battery acid to corrode stuff. My father was a chemistry teacher so I got to play this game before I was even in School. It felt so good to progress while learning something new. I've been trying several times to get this game running for 2 decades now, but as with most of the games published by swedish "Levande Böcker" in the late 1990's I would be better off building a retro PC than trying to run this game in a windows 95/98 virtual machine.

Sam & Max: Save the World (2007 Original Version)
Sam & Max: Save the World (2007 Original Version)The characters can travel between a variety of locations in the game using their black and white 1960 DeSoto Adventurer, which, when selected, will present the player with a list of available destinations. The DeSoto is also used for several driving sequences, usually involving pursuing or fleeing criminals in other vehicles. In these driving sequences, the player can use Sam's gun, the car's horn, or have Max attempt to communicate with other vehicles via a megaphone. In addition, special inventory items may be used to complete specific puzzles within these sequences. Driving sequences are also used for several minigames, such as pulling innocent drivers over for fabricated felonies. In keeping with the developer's heritage from the LucasArts adventure games, Sam & Max Save the World is designed so that the player characters cannot die or reach a complete dead-end.

Snatcher
SnatcherSnatcher is a cyberpunk-themed graphic adventure game directed and written by Hideo Kojima and produced by Konami. The setting and story of Snatcher is heavily influenced by cyberpunk and science-fiction media, taking place in a large futuristic dystopian city. The story revolves around an investigator named Gillian Seed assigned to investigate a breed of bioroids known as "snatchers", who are killing humans and taking their place in society. The game is set in a primarily first person perspective and uses a menu-based interface that allows the protagonist to interact with his environment. The player can choose to "Look", "Investigate", "Talk", "Ask" and "Move" (in addition to other options) to acquire key items or receive vital information from other characters. The player can analyze items in Gillian's belongings or show it to other characters. During key points of the game's story, the player must pass shooting sequences to defend Gillian from assailants. These shooting segments use a 3x3 grid which the player can target to fire at enemies. A shooting trainer, called "Junker's Eyes", is accessible at Junker HQ that allows the player to measure their accuracy.
