Best point 'n' click graphics?

[AndersM]

I'd say that FutureWars is the classic point 'n' click -game with the best graphics ever.
Used to playing PoliceQuest, Larry, and SpaceQuest, I was absolutely stunned by
Futurewars graphics. Just look at them..

[Estaog]

Woooooww!

That is some totally cool art! I haven't played much of the older games, but from what I played, these are the best.

[Privateer Puddin']

Monkey Island 2 (backgrounds)
Beavis and Butthead Virtual Stupidity (because it looks so much like the show, and i was a huge fan when i was like 9 or something )

[Mr Jake]

I like
BASS:




Broken Sword (both):




And its newer, but I really liked the MI3 art work.



I like the futurewars external locations, but I dont really like the look of the internal (top left) so much

[Estaog]

Yea broken sword had some really nice art.

I believe Future Wars was one of the first adventure games ever to use VGA graphics, so it was way ahead of its time. What I loved about the game is the music, and how it managed to be almost polyphonal over the PC speaker.

But I'd also have to give Kyrandia (I or II) a honorary mention for graphics.

Some favourites:

Lure of the temptress


Curse of the monkey island


Beneath a steel sky


Kings Quest 6


Space Quest 6


Simon the sorcerer 2

I love the graphics of King's Quest 6. It is the best that Sierra ever achieved of that particular style of graphics.
I did not realise that Future Wars used VGA. I always thought that it was just clever use of the colours available that made their backgrounds so beautiful

[Helm]

every game exxos/delphine made was beautiful.

Captain Blood:



Flashback:


<- note the square resolution. One of the few games to do that.

Also, Kyrandia 1




Goblins 3




and finally, a very underrated (but hellishly difficult) game, KGB

[[Cameron]]

I absolutely love the graphics in Kyrandia 1. I dont know, whenever i play the game i get by a wave of nostalgia to when i was like 6 or 7 playing it. The music in it was beautiful too from what i can remember.

[Vel]

Indeed, Kyrandia 1 is absolutely gorgeous - I was totally stunned when I first saw it.
Some other games with great graphics are
Runaway
The Dig
Gabriel Knight 1
The black mirror
Quest for Glory IV

[Mr Jake]

yeah, I forgot KGB but thats one of my favorites aswell.

[DanClarke]

im a sucker for:



and



Very closely followed by MI2 an MI3.

[CoffeeBob]

I really like the magic bg's in VGA Loom:

Beautiful! ;_;
I also like DotT, MI 1-3, Sam & Max and BaSS. Oh, almost forgot, Gabriel Knight also has neat graphics.
(I know, I should have shrunk it down, but that would've messed it up )

[HillBilly]

I gotta say MI2, MI3, DOTT, S&M and BS is my favorite letters.

[Domino]

Kings Quest 7



I love the MI series, but i am more of a Sierra adventure game fan.  I started playing KQ7 again after about 10 years and realized how beautiful a game it is.

MI3 is a very awesome looking game, but i prefer KQ7.

[Ubel]

I think Runaway has great backgrounds:

Definately Broken Sword. Too bad I never got Runaway to run on my computer...

Seems like Project Joe will raise the bar in our time.

[Babar]

It is very interesting to see people's perception of beauty (at least that is what I assume "best graphics" would mean). So far it seems "Beauty" is defined by the amount of detail put into a background. This definition allows for even very old games to be included here

[Helm]

one of the flashback pics i posted is made with a vector engine, and isn't detailed. But the composition is still very good and stylish. Detail's not everything
