Back when it came out, AGers called Runaway A: Road Adventure an instant classic and I got a similar impression though I need to replay to confirm. Pendulo games are often silly and too eager to please, but Runaway 1 was by far the least irritating, and that's saying a LOT.

No wonder I'm turned off indie and AGS games. Awful, awful game. It's not often I find it physically painful to play a game but Al Emmo succeeded, and that is no exaggeration.
I agree with Keepsake despite its flaws (all classics have flaws anyway), and I also think Last Half of Darkness: Society of the Serpent Moon feels like a classic in every respect. I think the minimal dialogue and story exposition helped. Shame it isn't more popular.
Another unpopular one is Yoomurjak's Ring, but definitely a classic. Unfortunately it will never be recognised as such because it's in Hungarian. Excellent game with possibly the most satisfying ending to a adventure game ever.
