I love these games and I'm trying to find as many as I can. If anyone has suggestions please post them. Post w/e point and click games you like too or your opinions on the games posted. Text heavy or Educational Point and Clicks are welcome (I'm trying to get my son to play some of them so if they're kiddish it's okay).

(bloody hilarious, deconstructs the genre, available for next to nothing on Steam)Previously commercial – available from the Scumm VM siteBeneath a Steel Sky (a serious sci-fi story)Flight of the Amazon Queen (wacky adventures in the Amazon rainforest)FreewareBen There, Dan That (predecessor to Time Gentlemen, Please! above, also really funny)Everything by Yahtzee – his Chzo Mythos games, Adventures in the Galaxy of Fantabulous Wonderment, The Trials of Odysseus Kent, and even 1213 and Art of Theft if you feel like adventure-flavoured platformers (and actually, not everything, don't go earlier than Kent). Everything by Ben304 – he's made a lot of really neat short games in interesting universes. Grundislav's Ben Jordan series – now complete with eight episodes and snazzy remakes of the first two.Cirque De Zale (basically a modern-day LucasArts game)Jessica Plunkenstein And The Dusseldorf Conspiracy (the graphics are pillaged from resource packs, but it's full voiced and I remember it being really funny)Nelly Cootalot (so amusing!)How They Found Silence (ugly graphics, but the rest of the game makes up for it)Nanobots (I think it has a commerical sequel too)Aeronuts (it's got a SHMUP minigame)the white chamber (really well-produced horror game with animey art)The Vacuum (an experiment in branching storytelling of the sort you don't see in a lot of these games)Damsel (a short, fully voiced game about a damsel who has to get out of her own distress)Adventure GamesFedora Spade (complete at four episodes and made in GM – you'll probably need the GM6 Vista convertor)Photopia (if you play one text adventure, make it this one)I recently have been playing Al Emmo and the Lost Dutchmans Mine. It's good so far, kinda difficult tho. I've had to check a FAQ guide to see what I need to do next. I know I'm a big cheater [:(]I have beaten Maniac Mansion several times and It's probably one of my favorite Point and Click Adventure games. I think I have it on almost everything; PC, PSP, XBOX, NES, and probably something else I'm leaving out. I've yet to beat Day of the Tentacle.
Point and clicks are basically my favourite genre. I have quite a few suggestions:

Wow, thanks a lot guys.
F1ak3r thanks a bunch :DWhy hasn't anyone mentioned Simon the Sorcerer?
This game is brilliant and very funny!I have only played Back to the Future, The Walking Dead and Hector. (all Telltale games) so i can't really recommend any outside of that. while i enjoyed those games they're a little bare in terms of game play and i can't see myself playing a whole lot more of them. Oh but i am looking forward to the next Walking Dead (which an episode is being released tomorrow! or so i heard)
