Point n' Clicking is a Tumblr devoted to illustrations drawn by Jón Kristinsson depicting the casts of adventure genre video games.  Many of the illustrations stirred fond memories, but I had to consult Wikipedia on more than a few of them.  In any case, the illustrations are all entertaining.
"Here’s a very recent adventure game, from Telltale Games chronicling an different story in the world of Robert Kirkman’s Walking Dead comics."
 Lewton, Death and Death of Rats - Discworld Noir (1999)

"I’m sure someone will correct me and tell me that Death of Rats never appears in the game, but screw it.. He’s cute and I like him."

"I realized that I hadn’t done any of the Quest series.  So here’s Mark Crowe and Scott Murphy’s Roger Wilco. This space janitor will always have a place in my heart, if only for the fact that he at one point travels to his own sequel."
