Old Type Adventure PC Games?

I used to play games like Loom, Conquests of the Longbow: The Legend of Robin Hood (I think that was the name), 7th Guest, 11th Hour and similar PC games in the 90s and I am looking for any games of today that might be similar.

My boyfriend and daughter both play World of Warcraft but I don’t like fighting games. I’m not against them, I just don’t do well in them. I did try one with spells years ago but it had fighting in it, too. I just prefer the adventure/Puzzle Games (not arcade).

I didn’t do well with the kinds of games that came after these, like Myst and such. All I ended up doing was walking in circles!

Does anyone know of any online or to buy that are similar to older style games? I have Vista, BTW.

Have you tried playing the Nancy Drew games? I know, I know…I don’t like the books either. I loved them when I was a little girl, but wouldn’t want to read them now, lol!

But, I was just given a couple of them by a friend and even though I was really doubtful that I would like them, it turns out I do.

They are point and click and they are not super hard. Plus, if you get really stuck You Can just type the name of the game Into Your browser’s search bar and there are walkthroughs for each of them. Also, the company that makes the games has a website where you can go on and ask questions of other players if you get stuck but You Don‘t want to read an actual walkthrough. The website is called, HerInteractive. You can buy the games directly from them, or you can go to stores such as Target, Walmart, Best Buy, etc. and buy the actual game so you have a disk. That’s what I did after I played the two my friend gave to me. I went and bought more. They even sell them where you can get 4 games in one box for only $20 at Target. (Or maybe the one that had four games in one was a little more than $20, but not much if it was. I bought 6 games — two single and one 4 pack, lol!) Love those games now. The two single ones I bought were older games (some of the first few ever made in that series) so they were less than $10 a piece.

Anyway, there isn’t any fighting and I find that they definitely keep me interested. They can be a bit frustrating at times though, that’s why I told you where to go on the web if you get really stuck. And, when you’re actually playing, it’s not the same at all as trying to read those old books. It’s a lot more fun then that.

Oh, and I just looked at the requirements on the box and they are XP/Vista compatible.
