Ceasar III was an absolute favourite of mine back then. Then I met Pharaoh. A bit slower paced because of the agriculture depending on the Nile floods and the monument building which doesn't consist of a simple click, but it was sure fun.
If we can consider post-DotT/Monkey Island point&click games non-mainstream, I'd also mention Woodruff & the Schnibble of Azimuth and The Neverhood. I don't think they are widely known, but they were entertaining. I guess the necessity to go through an insanely long corridor just to pick up a cassette at the end, then go back is reason enough for someone to steer clear of The Neverhood. That's probably the only frustrating part of the game though.
