* [[Adventure Soft]]'s [[Simon the Sorcerer]] 1 and 2;
* [[Revolution]]'s [[Beneath a Steel Sky]], [[Broken Sword 1]] and [[Broken Sword 2]];
* [[Flight of the Amazon Queen]] by John Passfield and Steve Stamatiadis;
* and games based on [[LucasArts]]' SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) system. [[SCUMM]] is used for many games, including [[Monkey Island]], [[Day of the Tentacle]], [[Sam and Max]] and more.
