    When you say point and click I think Monkey Island. Fullscreen pictures with certain areas you can click on to interact.

    Are simulations like Theme Park and MySims, real-time strategy games as C&C and Age of Empires and rpg shooters like Hellgate really 'Point and Click' games too?

    No. Point and click refers to a very specific genre even if other games involve pointing and clicking.

    Totally agree. If any of these games listed on here are considered 'Point and Click', all games for PC are..  I point my gun, and click to fire. :P

    I'll attempt to fix it tomorrow when I get home from the creek.
