Gaming across generations: point & click games

During this Summer Sale on GOG, we would like to see how gaming changed across the generations. What can give us a better perspective on that, if not the iconic point & click games?

Then: The Legend of Kyrandia (Book One) – 1994

Do you remember the enchanting title about a prince Brandon who sets off on a journey to end the tyrannical rule of an evil court jester in his kingdom? This classic from Westwood Studios captivated gamers with its fairy tale atmosphere and simple interface. Using items and starting a dialogue has become inconvenient as ever.

Now: Broken Age: The Complete Adventure – 2014

The game from Double Fine Productions and the legendary developer Tim Schafer is a great example of how point & click games evolved over the years. The interface became more refined – for example, to use an item now you need to drag it onto a context-sensitive area. Also, the story of two teenagers living in similar situations, but radically different worlds, is a masterclass of modern screenwriting for games.
