For the recommendation and discussion of only the comfiest point-and-click adventure games. Games that are more about atmosphere, character, artwork, than just frustrating moon-logic puzzles.
I'll start off with EcoQuest 2, an educational, immersive jungle experience with anthropomorphic wildlife. I used to play this over and over, trying to max out the score by filling the funky handheld computer with all of the rainforest trivia I could find.
Plus that is a really sexy bat.
I played this but there was a bug where I couldn't get past the part with the tree spirit or whatever
Just a black screen with the music still playing

I seem to remember something like that happening to me as well, and ended up having to reinstall the game.
I wonder if the copy on abandonia has the same issue...

Used to play the shit out of this on the old windows computers at my elementary school.
It's an educational game where you swim around as different fish and learn what they eat and their different predators and stuff.
You start with some small fish and level up to progressively bigger fish until you are a motherfuckin' shark.

Comfy, sure.
Point and click adventure, fuck no.
Pajama Sam 1 & 3 are prime comfy
Why are old point and click adventure games so good /vr/? Why do modern adventure games feel so empty.
Anyone else a fan of this old fossil?
Anyone got any recommendations or is there a list of these types of games that are good? I loved the first two monkey island games and i´ve been thinking about trying out the genre itself. Is there any games as good as monkey island or is that the cherry of it all?

Myst in an adventure game that you control by pointing and clicking on things.
I don't know why people starting using "point and click" to mean "third person graphical adventure." It's weird.
King's quest 5 and onward

Do you need to play the first 4 for story or can you play 5 and onward and not be confused all the time?
RealMyst is turbocomfy.Especially the hidden age.
Riven is also comfy as fuck. Make sure to keep a notebook.

Comfy but lonely.
Goblins 1, 2, 3

Neverhood ... Can get kinda tricky tho but has some comfy parts.

How so?
The Kyrandia games are some of my favorites, but not all of them qualify as "Comfy". 1 is more your traditional fantasy romp with some frustrating randomized puzzles, and 3 is more point-and-click comedy than anything else.
Kyrandia 2 is probably the best balance, which makes it my favorite. Good amount of humor, but not over the top; good amount of puzzles, but not completely opaque (with maybe one exception).

The usual recommendations you'll find will be mostly for Sierra / LucasArts, as they pretty much set the standard for the genre. King's Quest and Space Quest (mainly the later titles); Grim Fandango, Sam and Max... hard to go wrong with those publishers.

That's a good question. I think what really makes a good adventure game is attention to detail -- not necessarily graphical, but detailed interaction and completeness of scene; when the artwork, sound, and description/dialog all come together. I guess what it boils down to is good writing and good direction, which doesn't always happen.
There are a lot of shitty old point and clicks, too, of course.

>Ecoquest 2
mah cracka.I was stuck for 1 (ONE) year on the part where you are supposed to click on the tail's tiger.
Where do you guys get a hold of these games? You buy them? It´s rare to find many of the older games online.

Many of the major titles are available on gog.com for purchase, and in turn can be found on various torrent sites for non-purchase.
As for the more obscure ones, there are various abandonware communities around (abandonia, myabandonware, home of the underdogs). Probably some better sources than those, but that's where I usually go.

This game freaked me out as a kid simply because the sky was black.

Yeah, the whole scene in the logging camp is a little batshit (heh).
