Me too.  We are going to see a bunch of people walking around with limp right arms.

I completely forgot about Police Quest, man I just hit myself on that one. I loved that series I think most of all, especially when they introduced the driving part.

To the guy saying, "why the Wii, and you would need a keyboard" I agree, that they could do it on any platform, but there was a lot of point and clicking in those games as well as typing. Also since the Wii can use keyboard on the internet right now, could they not solve the in-game with a simple firmware update?

^bingo....good i miss games like that

Sierra and Lucasarts were masters of the adventure genre.
Police Quest was my first adventure game, i would love to play more adventures of Sonny Bonds.
The AGI versions of sierra games required text input, nit sure if we can port them.
The SCI versions were all mouse based, which is why Sierra rereleased some of its games with mouse support.
My fav. sierra adventure series has got to be Quest For Glory. Just thinking about it brings about a lot of emotions. Quest For Glory 4 , although buggy has got to be the best game in the series.

Using the Wiimote as a mouse and Wiiware as a platform, adventure gaming can find a revival of sorts on the Wii.

BTW, does Wiiware support the keyboard. 

Fact is: The p&c adventure genre is dead in USA. It only survives as a niche genre in Europe. Most of today´s p&c games are developed in Europe and they only sell in Europe. Even the few US games like Sam&Max mainly sell in Europe.

Face it: FPS killed point&click in NA in the mid-nineties. How many of US Wii/DS owners do even know that some p&c adv were already released on these two systems (or are about to be released)?

Only few, I bet, otherwise you wouldn´t ask for 20 year old games of the only company that was ever really successful with p&c adventures in NA: Sierra.

^ What about LucasArts? The Monkey Islands and Grim Fandango. I've been DYING for a Grim Fandango sequel on the Wii. I so wish they would do that

^ Right on with that Hawk. I would love to see some more of these pop up. Sam and Max has me excited, and I hope we will see more. Maybe if Sam and Max does well, it will push others into bringing this genre back via the Wii.

I think it was King's Quest V where they abandoned the keyboard and went to a pointer only interface, where right clicking would toggle between different cursors (view, talk, take, walk to, and one for each inventory item). It was very well done in my opinion but it lost the magic of ambiguous commands that Sierra gracefully handled with "I don't know what a cheeseburger is" or their quirky humor for something perverted.

Still I wouldn't mind to see a game like that brought back though I'd much rather try new iterations, they could be so darn challenging sometimes, and sometimes you'd be thinking about it away from the game coming up with ideas about whether this would work with that.

Zack & Wiki was similar to a point and click adventure except broken up into small manageable levels.

there is a video on youtube of a guy running on of the alltime classic lucasarts point and click adventure game off homebrew with wiimote support.
I think the wii, even without keyboard support, would make a great home for updates, but also the old games as is, with wiimote support on the vc or wiiware channel.
I am also intrigued by the upcoming wii version of secret files: tunguska

Kings Quest ftw. I usually got eaten by a shark though.
