Glad you agree with the other points, as the correction of some wild assertions was the reason behind my posting. I expected more or less a comment about the point-and-click remark. I still made it, because I think it would be more precise to position the Scumm interface between the text parser and point-and-click interface. For the player is still interacting with the help of verbs and nouns, in stead of pointing directly at a (hidden) hot spot in the action window. But I have no problem with calling it Lucas Arts' “verb/noun point-and-click interface,” in contrast to the newer point-and-click interface (that Sierra was using in King’s Quest V).
