Default Your Top #5 Adventure Games
I'll be the latest yokel to start a thread on your top five favorite adventure games. I'm a RPGer who is recently getting into adventure games (I played many of the classics waaaaaay back in the day) and I'm curious what people think...

My 5, and keep in mind, I haven't played that many:

1. Riven
2. Police Quest
3. Myst
4. Neuromancer
5. Amber: Journeys Beyond

Might I add, whoops. I shoulda posted this in Adventure. Well, what can you do.

To make it more general, here's my favorite games of any genre of all-time:

1. The Temple of Apshai
2. Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind
3. Autoduel
4. Doom II
5. Fallout
6. Baldur's Gate

I'm realizing I'm not much of a sequel guy...I was disappointed by Baldur's Gate II and Oblivion, where while the game exceeded its predecessor technically, the story elements (Baldur's Gate II's main quest in the second half was astonishly weak and derivative) were much worse.

I really wish someone would update Autoduel, make an RPG-based car dueling game. That game is absolutely brilliant.

Hehe thanks

Im not sure about straying away from an MI2 avatar though...Ive been on a little roll with riping and putting together my own little gifs from MI2

But if I ever find out how to rip gifs from a DS rom or something Id probably go find a PW one and go wild

Hmm... interesting. Why are all the top 5 listed from 1 to 5, instead of 5 to 1?

Anyway, here's my top 5 AG:
#5 Omikron
#4 Day of the Tentacle
#3 Legend of Kyrandia II: Hand of Fate
#2 The Longest Journey
#1 Grim Fandango
