Point-and-click MS-DOS Games

Point-and-click adventures replaced the typed command with a mouse cursor and a row of verbs. LucasArts set the pattern with the SCUMM engine it built for Maniac Mansion in 1987, and Sierra followed when King's Quest V swapped its text parser for an icon bar in 1990. The result was a genre anyone could pick up: no vocabulary to guess, only a screen to explore and a puzzle to think about.
