[PC] Atlantis: The Lost Tales (1997)

How:
Read about it on Adventuregamers, got on GOG during a promo.

Note:
I played the "extended cut" version, which is an unofficial patch that fixes some bugs and adds back some unused music and dialogue.

Pros:
- Just the old school graphics I like
- Great atmospheric music
- Lots of cutscenes

Cons:
- Lots of bugs and glitches, even with the patch installed
- Annoying action scenes to complete via trial & error
- Unfair, obscure puzzles

At one point you dress up like a woman, and the character even makes a falsetto voice.

[PC] Flight of the Amazon Queen (1995)

How:
Didn't know the game before it was given for free on Ubuntu together with Beneath a Steel Sky. Finally played it after getting it (for free) on Gog.com.
Pros:
- Very nice animations and graphics
- Nice overworld map idea (Joe looks at the jungle from a pinnacle, with a nice parallax effect)
- Very good voice overs
- Several cutscenes
- Some amusing sections (e.g. dialogue with Death before taking the boat)
Cons:
- Cannot skip dialogues
- Mostly inventory oriented puzzles, with tons of inventory items
- Graphics, music and overall tone are too much reminiscent of Monkey Island and Indiana Jones
- Uninspired, sometimes annoying music
- Some bad jokes
- Must mouse over items twice to get a description

[PC] Runaway: A Road Adventure (2001)

How:
Read a review on Adventuresplanet.it during my rediscovering of the genre, then bought the game at a Gamestop for 10 bucks.
Pros:
- A nice classical adventure with plenty of traveling
- Environments are excellent both from graphical point of view and their setting
- Dialogues are usually long-winded and fun
- Rewarding puzzles
Cons:
- Cut-scenes quality is not on par with the rest of the game (lousy cel-shading)
- Characters are mostly unfun, unpleasant and annoying (including the main character)
