tomimt: This is obviously just my personal opinion, but what I've played of old point and click games on a touch screen device by using ScummVM, I've noticed how much more natural they feel when you do the pointing and clicking with your finger instead of a mouse. Even when the games aren't really optimized for that, they feel like the way they were meant to be played is a touchscreen device whereas the mouse was just a crutch dictated by technological circumstances.
Old Lucas games in general work very nicely with a touchscreen. Even Sierra games where you need to get to icons by going to the upper half of the screen, I've noticed that the touchscreen feels more fluent.
I did play old point-and-click games on Android phone with ScummVM. Old Lucas games in general work very nicely with a touchscreen. Even Sierra games where you need to get to icons by going to the upper half of the screen, I've noticed that the touchscreen feels more fluent.
While they are reasonable playable, I still like mouse and keyboard more.
Maybe that is because the screen of phone is too small.
I guess play them on a tablet or Nintendo Switch (with big screen) will feel much better.
