gaming industry is researching new ways to disable old games so aging gamers would buy new games

[-] tburkhol@slrpnk.net 16 points 2 days ago

No doubt. Retired gamer here: I play so much Valheim, Saints' Row 3, and Fallouts. No way I'm forking out $70 for some new wannabe, unless you pry the .comfort games from my arthritic fingers.

Yep, same. I still regularly come back to my point & click adventure games from the 90's. Such comfort.

There are also many new point and click games that are amazing. Wadjet Eye really revolutionized the genre IMO.

[-] Malix@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 day ago

Yea! They are pretty great, haven't played many of them yet, but working on it!

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 3 points 2 days ago

Nice, what are some of your go-to's?

[-] Malix@sopuli.xyz 5 points 2 days ago

Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis, and Sam & Max: Hit The Road. I have probably played through both uncountable times, love 'em. I do like most Lucas ones, few Sierra ones.

[-] Telorand@reddthat.com 4 points 2 days ago

Hell yeah! Full-Throttle is my go-to Lucas point-and-click

[-] FoxFairline@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 2 days ago

Check out Abiotic Factor. Its like Valheim and HalfLife had a baby.

If you're enjoying Valheim, also take a look at Aska. it asks "what if Valheim was also a colony sim". I've got maybe 2 dozen hours in it and have barely scratched the surface.

As long as piracy exists, these games will remain playable
