Oh, the Legend of Kyrandia series was great too.
Now I understand the question.
I am not sure about what to call "The Longest Journey". I think it is a class for itself. It's like a Platypus - it looks to be not completely a mammal, but neither is it a complete duck.
It's like a hopeful prophecy, that the myths really existed, but that they are just somewhere else at the moment (Of course, dragons exist. There's one sitting in my room.
)
I love the Longest Journey, and I wouldn't live without it. I love it the way it is, but I don't think you could call it entirely fantasy. It is more like a story based on parallel universes/dimensions , where one happens to be fantastic, with magic and everything.
And who knows? Maybe there's magic in our world? There's more to this planet than meets the eye.
