Point and click adventure games

Point-and-click adventure games are typically mouse-oriented, allowing players to use the cursor to guide characters, pick up items, interact with the environment, and manage inventory. This genre often emphasizes puzzle-solving and story progression. Some of the most popular point-and-click adventure games include classics like The Secret of Monkey Island series, the Indiana Jones series, Leisure Suit Larry, King's Quest, and Space Quest.
