Complete list of Thimbleweed type games (only 20)

It’s always amazing to discover new games even you would think you know all those games supported by ScummVM after all those years.

full throtle
tentacle day
broken sword series
sierra kings quest
sam and max seirs

Huh, which one?

There are a few more that are missing from that list, or what I saw from what you posted:

All THREE Kyrandia games. Kyrandia 1,2, and 3 are awesome. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Legend_of_Kyrandia)

Freddy Pharkas : Frontier Pharmacist

Full Throttle (1995)

A New Beggining

…AND any from this list: https://www.moregameslike.com/freddy-pharkas-frontier-pharmacist/

These games have a simplified UI or an one-click-interface. So they don’t meet the requirement of at least 5 text verbs on the screen.

Also do not meet requirements from what I can see in screenshots. Sorry.

Oh yeah, this thread just re-gaind some attention via the official TwP Twitter. :slightly_smiling_face:

Awesome, thanks.

The list now has 53 games. Had no clue there was so many of that kind.

This is a more obscure one, an “ad-adventure” made for a bank.
There was a German developer called Art Department who made similar games, quite a bunch of them which were really nice.

Most use icons instead of text verbs but these fit your list:

Late to the party, but I highly recommend a video documentary on YouTube by a guy called “Ahoy” called “The Secret of Monkey Island”.

Great retrospective on adventure games from then until now and lists some really great suggestions along the way!

Apologies if this one has already been mentioned, but “Kentucky Route Zero” is a great TWP style game that ticks all the boxes in the original post :slight_smile:

With all those old ad-adventure games setting precedent, they really should have made that Indy Crystal Skull p&c adventure game to promote the film… hehe

The updated requirements are in the link. This game from what I can see from screenshots, does not have visible verbs etc.

You can add “Fenimore Fillmore: 3 skulls of the toltecs”, now available in a remake also: https://store.steampowered.com/app/977300/Fenimore_Fillmore_3_Skulls_of_the_Toltecs/

oops, I just noticed it was already listed as “3 skulls of the toltecs” (without “fenimore fillmore”)
