Oh yeah, I've never played Myst games, and I never will. Those are not my kind of games.

Lessee.
The SQ, PQ, and GK series, and KQ5 & 6 are the only Sierra games I've played. Never played Loom, only finished half of Full Throttle, and only played the very first bit of Sam & Max Hit the Road. I own but haven't yet played Tex Murphy: Overseer, nor have I played any of the other Tex games. I own but haven't yet played The Longest Journey or Syberia. I haven't played The Last Express. Never played any of the Broken Sword, Zork, or Simon the Sorceror games. Only played halfway through Myst, and don't plan on finishing it (or playing any of the others). On the flip side, I have played some quirky/lesser known adventures, so maybe it balances out a little. Peace & Luv, Liz

Never played through a LucasArt (gave up on Grim Fandango) or Sierra game that I know of. Hah, I beat you!
 Oh, and only played two levels of a Myst game, and only played a bit of GK3.

I've never played Grim Fandango.... or DiscWorld.. or any of the popular serious series.
In fact, I've played about a total of 6 AGs. Compared to the majority of people on this forum that is a small fraction of the norm! I feel out of the loop. |

Let's see, I haven't played... Syberia, Quest for Glory, The Longest Journey, The Neverhood, Loom, Sanitarium, The Last Express, Stilllife, Full Throttle, The Dig, Simon the Sorcerer, or Discworld.
The sequels I haven't played are... Space Quest 3 (still fiddling with sound), Broken Sword 4 (need to upgrade my computer), Monkey Island 4 (mouse wouldn't work), King's Quest 2 (need to buy it), Riven (only just finished Myst). Looking at all this it feels like I've hardly played anything! But I have... I promise! Oh, and I haven't played... Christmas Quest *HIDES*. |

Whoa, reading through some of the games people have listed there's actually quite a lot i haven't played. I still own quite a few adventure games (somewhere around 45 i think) and i've played through and completed them.
Other games i've not played are: All of Sierra's games (the only ones that appeal to me are the Gabriel Knight games) Gabriel Knight 3 (i have it, played it a bit but i'll go through it properly after 2) The Dig (on my 'list of things to get') Tex Murphy Zork Loom All the Myst games (except for Riven, which i cheated through anyway) The Neverhood (but i will as soon as i get it) Dreamfall (on my 'list of things to get') Darkfall 1 & 2 (on my 'list of things to get') Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (i have it, played it a bit, but don't like it) The new Sam & Max games (except the first one) Runaway 2 That's it for the mo.

I still haven't played any of the Tex Murphy series either... hopefully later this year.
Still looking for Loom, Indiana Jones & The Fate of Atlantis, Kyrandia series, Discworld series, The Last Express and other classics.

I tend to avoid games with too many death sequences. Broken Sword, for example, is fine, with it's handful of deaths. On the other hand, all the old Sierra games where you die in a plethora of ridiculous ways, don't appeal.
I also don't like node games. They depress me, with their cold, clinical, sterile beauty. Using these factors, why not see if YOU can extrapolate which games I've never played? First one with a comprehensive list gets a special hat. |

Alot of the games mentioned are the "old" classics which may or may not be hard to find or even play on today's newer machines and it's a shame because they were really great games.
For me, I haven't played alot of the newer games released in the past couple of years only because I haven't had the time or money to devote to playing. I still can catch up though.

Um, I'm working on it.
Of the 79 games I own, ~30 have yet to be played (though several I've played have been played more than once). My shopping list of games to add to the collection contain 38 titles.

Hmm, when I think about it I have at least tried many (if not all) of the classics. I haven't played any of the Kyrandia-games though.

The only commonly considered adventure game "classics" I can think of that I haven't played is the GK series and The Neverhood.
