Have you actually tried Beneath a steel sky? It does cover a mainstream genre, 
the genre of games like Monkey Island, and the later point and click interface 
larry's and space quests and it covers that well, and only for 8 Mb!

Also a lot of the other games I mentioned are not pure geeky. Who doesn't like 
pacman or the well known Russian falling blocks game?
