Are there any new(ish) point and click adventures about? Decent ones I mean. I used to love the old Indiana Jones games, aswell as Day of the Tentacle, and of course the excellent monkey island games.

Just wondering if this genré has completely died or if there are a few good adventure games to get stuck into.

Don't be silly, nothing works on XP.

I'm sure it will, if you set the compatibility to 98 or something.

Not point and click, more like the new Broken Sword game, "The Grim Fandango", cracking game.
