Worst LucasArts/Sierra adventure game

LucasArts - Most of LucasArts' adventures are actually pretty bad. If I were to pick the worst then I think would be Zak McKracken and Sam & Max Hit the Road. Sierra - I haven't played a lot of Sierra's adventure games so I can't really say much...

I finished Return of the Phantom and Pepper's Adventures in Time recently. Both were okay games, but I feel like Pepper's Adventures in Time was the better one out of the two. Pepper's Adventures in Time is a much better game than LucasArts' Day of the Tentacle and Sam & Max Hit the Road. Gonna play …

Sam & Max, but remove the comedy - gotcha. Sounds... interesting. I think I'll leave that particular vision of "enjoyable gaming" to you, sir. :) I don't care if a game has some comedy in it, I just don't like games that are too silly to the point it ruins the game for me. Anyways, I have been …

Nevermind. I think I might have been too harsh about Sam & Max Hit the Road. I don't care if you like the game, but it's not just a good game to me. I actually would recommend Sam & Max Hit the Road to people who want to learn more about good game design. Anyways, about adventure games with really …

Trends come and go, but some things dont age well. Also the 20th century was no simple time. It was crazy just like now. I did not say the 20th century was simple. lol Oh, sorry about that. Did I hurt your feelings? I have heard some people say Sam&Max ages well, and some people say it doesn't. I …

I actually think that the problem could be a "generation gap" as mentioned before. The current generation (Gen Z, "Zoomers") simply do not have any sense of humor and get easily offended by anything. I'm not offended by anything rlly (expect for things that rlly offend me). It's just the old …

These games (and Peanuts) were funny for me back then, and they are still funny for me now. Yes, it’s a generation thing. The new generation is definitely boring and likes to complain about everything. Try and name a funny modern game in this current generation? Undertale and Portal 2 Also not …

It must be remembered, with games like DOTT and Sam&Max, that those jokes were funny in the early 1990's, for the target audience. Very funny. And crucially, edgy - boundary pushing . In that era, the world was just seeing The Simpsons for the first time. The sitcom Friends didn't exist yet. Many …

While it's charms are plain to see, especially in context-of-ye-olde-times, I don't rank the original Monkey Island very highly within the SCUMM list. Another LucasArts adventure I didn't rlly enjoy like Monkey Island might be Day of the Tentacle. I've heard its a very good game, but to me it felt …

DNF was never funny. It's dead and over used memes all over with cringe humor every step of the way. The "cancellation" culture has nothing to do with it. The humor is bad, period. This reminds me of how people reacted to the humor of Escape from Monkey Island. I've seen a lot of reviews of that …

Well, I think that first versions of Duke Nukem were certainly not a series that is known for it’s positive portrayals of women. However, they brought the 3-D objectification of women in their games. In Duke Nukem Forever, there were a LOT of feminists complaining about that game installment, in …

The difference here is that Sam & Max (latter of which is a sociopath by the way) are unmistakably comic humor characters, you can't take anything they do or say seriously. Even the subject matter and story is absurdly surreal. I know this but Sam & Max in the original comics act more harsh than …
