looking for something to play on a road trip [while i'm not driving..]
a single player adventure game like KQ/PQ/etc that doesn't rely on reaction time and such (will be using a touchpad)

What you're after is everything from Telltale Games.
hmm.. i'll check these out (looks like the BTTF game that theborgs recommended is from them too).. i still feel like these don't have the depth that king's quest, freddie pharkas, et al. had.
pick up The Longest Journey on GoG
Came here to say this. Both this and the sequel have great stories, nice artwork and are very lengthy games. Well worth your money.
And then get the sequel. :)
Nice job dropping that affiliate link.. Notice you've been doing that lately
The new Back to the Future game is point and click
thanks, i'll check it out
i do love the BTTF movies.. i noticed that they are going to release 5 episodes to the game? is the gameplay in the 1st episode (the only one released so far it seems) lengthy enough? or just a few hours or something?
There is going to be 5 episodes; one released each month (second is set for February). I guess it depends a lot on how fast you are to solve the puzzles, but the first episode is short; It took me maybe 4-5 hours (and I was stuck 2 times).
Might be a little older, but here is also Siberia 1 and 2 (as point and click games)
Machinarium is great albiet a little short. Like others have said anything from Telltale. I might hold off on Back to the Future and buy a whole series instead. Each episode can have anything from 3-5 hours.
If you want to go old school get ScummVM and you can get Beneath A Steel Sky for free. I really love the original Broken Sword. Originally came out in 1996 but a Directors Cut came out last year and is currently 50% off in the Steam Sale. (€2.50 in Europe.)
somehow i didn't know about scummvm.. this is going to cost me a lot of freetime. a thousand upvotes, sir.
