So, in the spirit of taking a trip down memory lane (and the fact that one of LucasArts’ classics, Grim Fandango, celebrates its 20th anniversary this month), here are a couple of selections from the genre that for the most part still hold up as being creepy as hell, and (again, for the most part) still fun to play.ĭreamForge Intertainment created one of the more atmospheric psychological horror adventures during the genre’s heyday in Sanitarium. Still, if you’re like me, there’s nothing that can really replace the classics. Obviously, adventure game glory days are long gone, but there have been games like Telltale’s The Walking Dead series and THE BROTHERHOOD’s Stasis that have introduced a whole new generation to the genre. Point-and-click adventure games were a staple of the early-to-mid 90s PC gaming scene, with some of the more memorable ones being in the horror genre.
