Point & click adventure games such as Monkey Island, Sam & Max and Space Quest were the most popular genre on PC in the early 90’s. They are much more difficult to find nowadays and often look outdated, which might put off first timers. Here are several high quality titles that have been made more modern, without losing any of their original flair.
