True confessions! "I have never played..."
Time to own up and risk the jeers of others.
What classic, must-have adventure games have you never (yet) played? I'll start by admitting I've never so much as touched Maniac Mansion and the Day of the Tentacle. |

Most of 'em (Grim Fandango, Gabriel Knight, Space Quest, Quest for Glory, Tex Murphy, The Longest Journey, Zork and the list goes on)
But I've come around thinking that I'm saving them for worse times. Last edited by fajerkaos; 06-28-2007 at 03:02 AM. Reason: Added more |

I never played Myst, most of Sierra's Quest series (other than King's Quest 7), and Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers.

I haven't played any Sam & Max games.
I'm planning to get Hit the Road but since I'm not that fond of the cartoony style I've been hesitating.

I was tempted. Still, that was about the time that Gears of War and Call of Duty 3 were on my play list, so that ended it.

No Broken Swords (Except for a few minutes of number 2, I believe)
No Mysts since the first one No GK3 No Loom No Longest Journey/Dreamfall ...I think that's it. Oh, and I never completed Grim Fandango. Got to Year 3, but didn't play it for a while. Have to start that one over soon...

I've never played The day of the tentacle, Monkey Island, and I don't think I've ever finished a Roberta Williams game.

I've never played Sanitarium, though I own it.
I've never played Darkseed 1&2 and I owned both, now I own only the first one. I've never played any of the King's Quest games even though I do own Roberta Williams anthology set in mint condition. I've never played Last Express the full game, even though I've owned it for a couple of years now. Do I need to continue with the listing? Then again adventure games I haven't finished yet, but have played: Stilllife, Broken Sword 1, Gabriel Knight 3 and so many more. There are of course also some adventure games that I've played and would've never wanted to play, if I had known how horrible those were, mainly I'm talking about Escape from Monkey Island.

I never played Sam and Max Hit the Road, but I do have it, and it's on my list, especially with the new episodes (which I haven't played yet, either) soon to be available by retail.
I never finished Grim Fandango, but I will! Very soon! I'll have to start from the beginning, and see how it will play in XP, but I'm looking forward to it. |

I own The Dig, Indiana Jones & the Fate of Atlantis, Loom, and Maniac Mansion, but I've never played any of them. (...Yet.)
I started Beneath a Steel Sky but never finished it. And I've never been anywhere near any of the Sierra games. |
