Hey Boomers, For me is terrible the control with keyboard, i prefer much more only whit mouse. As a matter of fact i think that a original game of adventure it must be only in mouse point and click. I think that with keyboard the game like of kind action-adventure.
I want to know wich control all boomers prefers in a adventure?
Hugs

I prefer mouse, point and click. I have played keyboard and have gotten used to some, but I generally don't buy them unless I make sure how others feel about it from here.

Generally, if it's not mouse, I don't buy. Having had a stroke some years back, my fingers on one hand work, but on the other, not quickly. I want a game I can enjoy....not frustration. Give me rodents anytime. Teddo

I am the same as Daleen if I am required to use the key board and I like the game I will.I must admit I tend to like to nose about a lot and do like to get to most places even if there is not a lot there .

Keyboards are for pianists. My sentiments exactly! I really don't like keyboard controls.

I tend to think twice before buying a keyboard-only game, I just find the controls aggravating.
Having said that, any game which uses the keyboard for movement and simultaneous panning with the mouse works great for me. Overall, though, I prefer plain point & click.

I definitely prefer mouse-control, but over the years I have finally reached the point where I can at least get through a keyboard-control game. The first one I ever played was Grim Fandango, and poor Manny spent most of his time either turning around in circles, or banging into walls...

I like point and click because it is simple. 2 buttons to press - left or right. With Dead Reefs I had to keep looking down at the keyboard to make sure I had to right key. Oh so NOT fun and surely to whole point of playing these games is to have fun.
Has any one seen any little gray cells around as I think I've lost some? Reward for finder.
