I'd consider SC2 more of an RPG than anything... however, since most people consider the Quest For Glory series to be adventures, then you could make a case for Star Control 2, I think.

Anyhoo. Bearing in mind that, relatively speaking, I haven't *played* a lot of adventures, and that the ranking isn't entirely precise...

1. Gabriel Knight 1
2. Sanitarium
3. A Mind Forever Voyaging
4. Gabriel Knight 2
5. Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
6. Secret of Monkey Island
7. Curse of Monkey Island
8. Grim Fandango
9. King's Quest 6
10. The Dig

Honorable Mentions: The Space Bar, Beneath a Steel Sky, Space Quest 5

Unlike JohnGreen, I tend more towards games that are simply solid on their own. For instance, Maniac Mansion is a fun game that was very innovative for its time (and the first graphic adventure I ever played, yay!)... but in actual play I think it's a bit weak nowadays compared to newer games.

Peace & Luv, Liz
