Have you played the Space Quest series? You don't need to make a story, you just need to make it quirky and fun.I have not played space quest nor monkey island.
Then again, have you played Grim Fandango?
However Grim Fandango is probably one of my favorite games of all time. You see I would want to make point and click games as fantastic as GF.
'Bout time to play that one again actually…
The Monkey Island series is miles beyond Space Quest. Space Quest games were typically a bit more tongue in cheek.
Also, nobody could make a game as good as GF. Nobody.
