Vote for one game in each versus match that you’d like to see advance to the next round. Feel free to skip any match that you don’t want to vote in.

Voting for this bracket will end on 12 January at 23:59 GMT.

The four games in each bracket that survive their versus match will go on to the next round (the Round of 32), and so on, until only one game remains and wins the tournament for our community’s favorite adventure game.

2. Discworld Noir (such a shame…I really like the first Simon)
3. No vote. I really find the 3rd GK a disgrace and haven’t played SQ IV

M1: Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail - Josef is cute, but Larry is beautiful Smile
M2: Simon the Sorcerer - I always looked at these two series shoulder by shoulder and consider Discworld Noir as the weakest game of the lot and the first Simon the best
M3: Gabriel Knight 3: BotS, BotD - Another tough one, but Space Quest is the Sierra’s series that I least liked
M4: Grim Fandango - better game in every department

M1: Machnarium wasn’t love at first site for me. It grew on me. I was part of my way through the game when the next year’s Aggie awards were going on and all of the great things they said about it encouraged me to finish the game! It was an amazing experience, and one of my most favorite adventure games. It is unique too, and almost started a new sub-genre. Other games, such as Journey of a Roach, Gomo, and Valiant Hearts: The Great War have also used this style. The puzzles in Marchnarium include ones that are actually challenging in a good way – they are not just trial and error obstacles meant to pad the length and make the game harder. They are totally legitimate in their design and challenge. Sorry Larry, but I haven’t played most of your games. I do support the unique premise and idea for the games however. I do want to play the LSL remake and LSL 7 someday.

M2: Discworld Noir has noir in the title, and I love noir games!

M3: Of those two, I’ve played GK3: BooS, BooD. It was a good game, although, not as good as The Beast Within, which was not as good as Black Dahlia, which was not as good as Under a Killing Moon, which was almost as good as The Pandora Directive, which is almost as good as being alive in the first place! Anyway, GK3 was a fun game with a great story. It disappointingly didn’t use FMV like with its predecessor, but it was a great game. I never remembering having trouble with the infamous mustache puzzle, but I probably just used a walkthrough, or got lucky.

M4: I think Grim Fandango might just be the game to win this tournament. It’s no match against a game I haven’t played, but it’s also a great game. It’s definitely in my top overall games list (for all genres), but probably not a high as most of you would place it. I enjoyed it very much, but can’t even remember what the story was really about since I played it over 10 years ago. That sounds like I need to re-play it right? If only a remake of the game was coming out in a few wee… oh hey, I’ll check that remake out!
