Adventure games with cartoon graphics and/or conspiracy theme
 

Im looking for some adventuregames with cartoonish graphics. And preferably with humorous or conspiracyrelated themes. I would appreciate any help you could give me.

Some of the adventure games in this "genre" that I have truly enjoyed are:
- Monkey Island (the whole series)
- Broken Sword 1 & 2 (even though I didnt mind 3 and 4)
- The Longest Journey and Dreamfall (Conspiracy; well, not really, but they are some of the best games Ive played)
- Full Throttle
- Moment of Silence (enjoyed the conspiracypart of the game)
- Toonstruck! (fantastic!)
- Runaway 1 & 2
- Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy)

I would be very grateful if someone were to help me find some more games like the ones mentioned above.

Thank you for your help :D

Welcome to the forums, fredmania. :)

You might want to have a look at the Discworld games (1, 2 and Noir). They're fun and very good, though the first two are insanely hard.

Secret Files: Tunguska has conspiracy elements and nice graphics (though not cartoony), but there are some caveats (see the review).

I'm sure there are many more, but nothing pops to mind at the moment.

Cartoony and Conspiracy you say? May I suggest Sam and Max: Episode One by Tell Tale Games! :)

Thanks. What does the demo fix do?

It will correct the problem with picking up the crank.

Jack orlando is a cartoon detective adventure, old ....but I enjoyed it!

Exuse me, but Fahrenheit isn't definitely in that "genre".
No cartoonish graphics.
No humor.
(I hate that "genre" of yours, and when you say like this cartoonish graphics and with humor - that's insult!)

Humor is, indeed, despicable.

Yeah, I'm going to have to go with Hysteria on this one. Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) is definitely not meant to be cartoony or funny. Maybe you were just throwing that one in to fulfill the whole "conspiracy" requirement you were going for?

What about Legend games like Death Gate, Shannara, Callahan's Crosstime saloon and Champions of Xanth? You guys think those would qaulify as so called cartoon adventure games?

That was indeed what I was going for Shoal. I did not mean to list the games above in "one" specific genre. I was merely trying to give you all a number of games Ive found enjoyable.

In reply to Kurufinwe and Nautilus, I have already played Gilbert Goodmate and all the Discworld games (Noir is great!). I may give Secret Files: Tunguska a try and definately Flight of the Amazon Queen. I think Ill wait a while with Sam & Max, until season one is released.

Thanks alot for the help guys and keep em coming if you have some more games for me to try. :)

Seems like this topic is very simmular to the one I made few days ago

I tried to look up the games youve mentioned, but I only found Callahans Crosstime Saloon. It looked the part, but I am firstly looking for 3rd person adventure games. Thanks for the tips though

I have also played Grim Fandango. Loved it.

Oh ... 3rd person you say? Have you played any of the Kyrandia games? They're fantasy but they also have a rather funny/sarcastic tone about them.

Kyrandia 1 is nice, except for the damn coloured gems puzzle! :p

I think Leisuresuit Larry 2 was one of the best conspiracy theory games ever!!
