In no particular order:
DOTT - The first adventure game I ever played. Gabriel Knight 2, 3 Broken Sword 1, 3 - Though the frequency of crate puzzles in the 3rd was a bit annoying. Sam & Max Full Throttle Under A Killing Moon The Pandora Directive Phantasmagoria 2 - I don't understand why this got such bad reviews. It's such an awesome story. Maybe it's to little of a game to some.. Monkey Island 2-4 Discworld 1, 2 (still haven't played Noir enough) The Longest Journey - Disappointing ending, but most of it was just heavenly. When I got to the stick people I almost cried because it was so great. Rex Nebular & The Cosmic Gender Bender King's Quest 6 Black Dahlia Toonstruck - Mostly because I'm a fan of cartoons, I guess. Beavis and Butt-Head in Virtual Stupidity Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis Ripper was nice, but the puzzles were too difficult. The Myst series are beautiful (except the first one), but the puzzles are too much for my tiny brain, so they're not on the list. Games that might deserve a place on the list that I haven't played (enough): Grim Fandango Runaway: A Road Adventure - The dialogue isn't too good. Some silly translations from the original language, I suppose. Zork Nemesis Zork Grand Inquisitor Beneath A Steel Sky The Dig Syberia 1, 2 X-Files |

It's really so hard. I have been playing adventure game
since 87 and I'll forget a ton of them. But I'm sure about these: 1) Monkey Island series (The secret and Le Chuck's Revenge) The other two are not real MI games. I can't express my feelings toward these games. The theme music of the second one still makes me cry (which I have with me all the time) I grew up with them. They have all my memories. They are much more than a game for me. 2) Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis 3) Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade (best movie game ever) 4) Full Throttle 5) Day of the Tantacle (also honorable mention goes to the orginal MM) 6) Zak Mc Kraken (one of first and best icon adventures ever) One of my first too. I remeber playing it on C64 with 5.25 floppy disk drive. I couldnt believe the possibilities. 7) Phantasmagoria. Not a great gameplay but amazing work. My name comes from that. I was so shcoked when i frist show the trailer with amazing music. One of the most intense scenes ever in it. 8) Sanitarium. The Most recent game (which is ironic it's almost 10 years old) that captured me really. 9) Police Quest 3 (most Sierra games rocked) 10) Future Wars (all Delphine adventures rocked) |

Gah, I forgot Spycraft, I loved that game when I played it a few years back. In Memoriam would probably be there too if it wasn't quite so short and didn't have any annoying arcadey bits.

I haven't dug through the posts too deep on this thread, but I haven't seen mention yet of the Journeyman Project games.
I'd have to think for a while to come up with a top ten list but I want an adventure game to hold my interest through a great story and some innovation at times. I thought the 2nd and 3rd Journeyman project games were excellent. Here's a partial list (*perhaps some minor spoilers in my explanations*): 1) Myst IV: Revelation - Besides the unbelieveable integrated movies with 3D graphics, I worried about that little girl the entire game. Therefore, it kept my attention. 2) Syberia: The game surprised me. It started off slow, but the story and character development grew with such subtlety and yet such effectiveness that I went back and restored my last save game just to finish the game again and see that ending. The most fulfilling ending of any game in my opinion, even though it was a 'to be continued'. 3) The Journeyman Project II: Buried In Time: Once again, I felt a sense of urgency as I played the game. Good puzzles, and a fairly innovate use of an NPC (which was educational at the same time) Those are my top three. Somewhere else on the list are Journeyman Project III for its "multiple dialogues depending on who you are" even though the story was weaker than II, and Syberia II (which was great, though it felt to me like the very last chapter of a huge book that mostly played out in the original). The Moment of Silence would have made my list, but the end of the game ruined the whole thing for me. To have such a great build up through a game, with great dialogue and story, only to have such a sci-fi cliche for a climax was disappointing to me from a storytelling standpoint. I wanted an original conspiracy idea! (incidentally, the original Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic, while technically an RPG, had such a terrific story line, dialogue, character development, and puzzles that it felt to me more like an adventure game with some rpg elements thrown in - I wish I could include it in the list here, because it would definitely be in my top 10) |
