Life is what it is.
M1: Botanicula
M2: Blade Runner
M3: Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon
M4: The Longest Journey
M1: As someone wrote on these forums a few years ago, Botanicula is “so familiar yet so alien”. It couldn’t put it any better. That tree is truly magical. Playing the game is a charming experience in every way. Very interesting art, creative and amusing animations, a great use of human voice in the sound effects and soundtrack, and gameplay that’s not too difficult, yet encourages experimentation. If only Amanita could make games faster!
M2: I loved Still Life, but any futuristic noir game that I’ve also played is going to blow away the competition. Blade Runner may not be Tex, but the game’s story was great, non-linear, and a little different every time. This is one of the few adventure games that I’ve played more than once. One of these days, I should get around to reading the novel and watching the movie!
M3: I’ve played both, but Tex Murphy: Under a Killing Moon holds a special place in my adventure gaming heart and brain. It was the first true and epic adventure game I played, and is still one of my favorites. It’s hilarious, has great atmosphere, an epic story, awesome characters, and fun gameplay. Overall, it’s almost as good as The Pandora Directive, but also superior in a few ways.
M4: The Longest Journey was like a faint pulse of the adventure genre when it was in a coma. The genre has since made more than a full recovery, and is back and better than ever, and part of this is in thanks to The Longest Journey. It’s a very epic game with a very deep story. I loved exploring the parallel worlds, especially Stark. I look forward to re-playing TLJ soon!

The Longest Journey
M2) Blade Runner
- Still Life
- Maniac Mansion
Playing: 1) Broken Sword 5 2) Road 96
M1: Dreamfall, The Longest Journey
M2: Blade Runner
M3: No vote
M4: The Longest Journey
M1: Botanicula - Nice, relaxing game, Dreamfall was a subpar sequel in every way
M2: Still Life - Tough one, but Still Life is probably the best thriller among computer games
M3: Maniac Mansion - I’m not fond of noir created after noir period, Maniac Mansion paved a path for glory that came
M4: The Longest Journey - As I said, I love them long and hard and on the other hand I couldn’t stand the art style of Shadow of Memories
1. Botanicula
2. No vote. Not impressed by Still Life and I haven’t played Blade Runner yet
3. UaKM. Always the best Tex game in my heart. It was also the one that introduced me to the character
4. One of the rare cases where I will vote despite not having played one of the games in question. I find the Longest Journey a superb game though and it gets my vote.
M1 - Dreamfall
M2 - No vote
M3 - Under a Killin Moon
M4 - The Longest Journey. Tough call because SoM is so innovative
M2 - Still Life
Match 1 - Botanicula
Match 2 - Still Life
Match 3 - Tex Murphy UAKM
Match 4 - TLJ
3.5 time winner of the “Really Annoying Caption Contest Saboteur” Award!
Match 1 - No vote.
Match 2 - Still Life (love it). ~ Such an amazing game, story, gameplay and breathtaking cinematic scenes.
Match 3 - Under a Killing Moon
Match 4 - Shadow of Destiny (aka Shadow of Memories). ~ I think I’ll be one of the few who will vote for it, but the impression that caused me Shadow of Memories is unique. I absolutely loved it.
I think it’s underrated. In fact my signature is based on a saying of Homunculus. ” Immortality has its perks, but you have to be given life first.” The Longest Journey? I tried it a few times, but isn’t for me, I can’t get into it.
” I remember. Somebody died. It was me.”

M1 Dreamfall
M2 Still Life
M4 Shadow of Destiny
M4 was difficult choice as I loved both games but SoD with the variations & different endings for me has the slight edge!
1 - Dreamfall
2 - Still Life
3 - Tex Murphy: UAKM
4 - The Longest Journey
