All time favorites
1st post here. Just wanted to intoduce myself to the boards here, I've been playing adventure games for years now and I just discovered this site. Anyways, I am going to list some really good games I have played over the years and maybe you could list your top picks as well. Day of the Tentacle Kyrandia series ToonStruck Innocent until caught Indiana Jones series Full throttle Sam & max Rex Nubular & the cosmic gender bender Zork (i cant remember what one, it's been years. It was for mac, non text based and it had the guy in the lighthouse and the shot of rye that would send you through the roof) Ones that I want to play but I havent gotten around to yet: Grim Fandango The Dig Monkey Island series Neverhood Rise of the dragon Leisure suit larry series Does anybody have any suggestions for any other games like this this? I'm looking for a real good one I havent played yet. |

Welcome to the forums, MacGarnagle!
I'd suggest The Longest Journey, Blade Runner, Fahrenheit/Indigo Prophecy and Gabriel Knight series.

Welcome McGarnagle (sounds awesome if you envision it Irish..-ly ). Anyway good taste in games, I don't feel like listing my favourites (believe it or not, but this is the gazillionth thread like this ) but I will tell you Grim Fandango and the MI series are among them Man, I wish I could erase my memory of playing them and play them all over again.

I would recommend: Simon the Sorcerer 1 and 2, Discworld, and Deathgate, in addition to the games in your "to play" list.

Allo, you should def check out Gabriel Knight 1 & 2. Quality games. I think the Zork game you mentioned is Return to Zork, in which case you should get Zork Nemesis and Zork Grand Inquisitor too. Nemesis is quite a serious, puzzle-based game, and Grand Inquisitor is more lighthearted and bizzare.
