This book is a love letter to classic point-and-click adventure games—especially the 1990s era of puzzle-solving, wild logic, and constant clicking. If you grew up with games like Leisure Suit Larry, Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle, Gabriel Knight, Broken Sword, Discworld, Tex Murphy, Simon the Sorcerer, King’s Quest, Blade Runner, Grim Fandango, and more—or if you want to understand why this genre felt so magical—this is made for you.

Across 256 full-color pages on high-quality paper, established writers from Jazbina (Matic “Kavbojc” Jeraj, Jurij “Aggressor” Kristan, Martin “Jazbec” Klemenc, Mirt “Moroaster” Komel, and Sergej “Sneti” Hvala) break down the genre and revisit the content, structure, and meaning of famous adventures. They also cover publishers’ histories, introduce creators, and collect tons of trivia—from quirky copy protection to what came in the box, how many CDs a game shipped on, and other behind-the-scenes details. The tone is vivid, enthusiastic, analytical, thorough, and proudly nostalgic—meant for your shelf, your table, and your heart.
