However, with time the capacities have grown, but these titles are still attracting the attention of millions fans just because they are simple, fun, relaxing and story-driven, which a pretty rare case in small games of nowadays. Thus, when the point to click titles have just appeared, it was a real twist in the game world.

The older titles used a lot of text to support the story of the game, so they were more like visual novels you can play, not just read.
