Speaking of point and click adventure games, really the only one worth
playing was DoTT, IMO.

obviously.

Myst series seemed utterly boring to me. With a storyline that is sterile,
alien and convoluted, and puzzles that are artificial , I never understood
what the appeal was. Then again, I've never been a "gamer", in that most I
can play is 1/2 hr or so at a sitting, and to mentally and physically relax,
not as a second job. For similar demographics, I guess games that are more
like sitcoms than films are more appealing.
