Point and click games have started to disappear from our gaming life as we know it!

We still have the Command & Conquer style Point & Clicks but the old style, Day of the Tentacle, Full Throttle and more like them, aren't made anymore!

They were great games which involved a lot of thought! They involved solving mysteries during a game! Most involved picking up objects and really thinking hard which ones to use, you could interact with the characters choosing what to say and do to them and you could play minigames!

They were great single player games to play with friends, as the more people you had with you whilst playing, the better the game became cos you had more than one mind thinking about what to do next!

I wish these games were still made cos they're full of fun. gameplay, they make you htink and they're a great laugh! :)

Id say Final Fantasy IX- the amount of time you spend planning stategy and what to you is almost mind boggling- probably explains why the game takes so long to complete.

A game that made me think was Superman 64:

''The Game' pondered to himself:'

"I wonder if the bubbles are forming after my fathers wallpapering!"

Superman 64 really was crap! No doubt aboiut it, some games like Turok can be said to have invented a genre, others can say to have taken the genre to new heights ie. Bust-A-Move, but Superman 64 has no excuse, I would rather watch the Queen Mother take a 90 day tour of The Scittish Highlands!

I don't quite know what it was...the repetitive Ring levels? The crap graphics? The fact that games like Banjo can be made and that is what we get!

Alas, are we never to see a good Superman game?!?!?!

I wonder if we'll see one on the Gamecube....HEAVENS NO!
