What was you most memorable point & click adventure moment?

WARNING! Comments below may contain spoilers for some of the greats!

View attached image.

I'm quite late to the Lucasarts P&C party, and I often end up playing the games with a guide because I don't like clicking / using items on everything and hoping for the best...
but in Day of the Tentacle getting the dentures was a really memorable moment, because in a spark of lunatic clairvoyance I immediately knew what I need to do for it. :D it was a good kind of crazy solution

Funny, when I saw the question my mind immediately jumped to day of the tentacle and some of the moments there, including the dentures. Just so many funny moments in that game.

My fav moment there was the hamster being subjected to cryonics. It was awesome when I saw what has to be done. So evil and so logical!

I think some Lucasarts point and clicks made a perfect balancing act between a whimsical and silly world where anything can happen, and logic. The world makes the games fun, and excuse the weirdly logical solutions. I found that many new P&C games are stuck in a "too high level of reality", and that makes puzzles and actions overly complicated and awkward. Day of the Tentacle, or Full Throttle were incredibly free-flowing and story-rich, and the weird puzzles still fit so well into them, because they use a twisted version of rwal-life solutions.

Damn, you always pick out the most insane GAs!
My most memorable moment (or rather moments) was in Monkey Island 2 were I need to solve the hand sign puzzels. I solved it by pure chance. One year later I played it again AND again solved it by pure chance. Only alot of years later I played it again and figured it out, but I still cant believe I somehow managed it two times to get around there by chance without knowing what to do.

Omg, my brother and I were stuck at that puzzle for days on end! I can’t recall if we searched for a guide or eventually figured out the trick to solving it but we did manage to continue our adventure.

Some years ago, in the ancient times before corona, I implemented that puzzel into my Pen&Paper campain as the GM. My player hated it XD

Digging a grave in the original Monkey Island 2! Cracks me up anytime (the SE version somewhat loses the charm on that bit though)

Something from Zak McKraken (sp?) - loved that game. Possibly involving a yak.

Most memorable, or perhaps more accurately 'painfully burned into my memory', is that damned goat. That god-damned goat.

Broken Sword, for those who haven't felt the pain.

When I finally defeated the motherfucking goat in Broken Sword.
There were no guides online back then, and as a kid I thought calling the helpline could help. They could in fact NOT help. I had no idea what a helpline was back then. To my excuse I was like.. 7 or 8? :')

There's a reason this has it's own wiki-page; https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Goat_Puzzle

The scene near the end of Grim Fandango with Manny being super vengeful and all the flowers. Played that game when I was ten or so, that scene definitely left an impression on my tiny little mind.

It is a key, as far as I know (accoring to the store) there are no region restrictions.

I'm a huge fan of Monkey Island, but I guess the most memorable and unique point n click I've ever played was Grim Fandango. Got it as a kid and the art and themes are incredible.

Besides Monkey Island games, I had a lot of fun with The Longest Journey and Deponia series.
Most memorable... probably beating the wizard with a calculator in The Longest Journey.

That's one of those games I always install to remind myself that I want to play it, then completely forget about it :P

I was caught pleasantly surprised when I got the first, of many, “trophies of cowardice” in Justin Wack and the Big Time Hack. Granted it’s probably not the most memorable moment, but it was a fairly-recent memorable moment that I think is worth mentioning.
