I posted this on an Amazon forum and someone kindly pointed me in this direction, saying that you folks would have loads of ideas!
I hate being shot at/eaten/blown up (odd I know) and I play PC games on Vista (which is a pain in itself as I struggle to know what will and won't work!)
I have played Discworld (1-3), The Longest Journey, Keepsake, Tunguska and a couple of the Broken Sword games (after the second one things kept trying to kill me!)
Any other suggestions?
