What are your top 10 Adventure Games
Hi, since I am just new here I thought I'd list my favourite games of all time that I have played thus far. I did a search on some threads but couldnt find any.
The Dig Police Quest 2 Colonels Bequest Sherlock Holmes Consulting Detective (I think the right name, its the 2d one) Police Quest 3 Grim Fandango I Have No Mouth and I must Scream (I havent completed this with any other character than the professor, if anyone knows how to do it please tell me) Gabriel Knight 1 Sam n Max Series 1 EP 5 Reality 2.0 Honourable Mentions: Kings Quest 2 and 5 (didnt like KQ6 a whole heap) Space Quest 2 & 4 Police Quest 1 Monkey Island 2, 3 and 1 (in order of favourite) Day of the Tentacle Simon the Sorceror 2 Sam n Max Series 1 There are probably others in my honourable list but I cant remember. I havent played a lot past 2000 except for Syberia 2 and need to go back to GK3 and Longest Journey 2. I do have GK2 but it seemed a bit 'gay' in comparison to number 1 with the FMV. If I had to put it as my best out of the lot I dont think I could split Dig and Colonels Bequest. I am also searching for a murder type game that will match Colonels Bequest. It is the only game which has ever creaped me, however I was around 14 when I played it. |

Welcome GrandMasterB!
 (if this were in person, I'd think you'd break out in a rap by now.  )Take a look at this thread, which has some links to detective game recommendations (and maybe others that will strike your fancy). |

Just thought I would post my top ten list. I haven't played nearly as many games as most of the people on this forum have, but I've a keen interest in the genre and know what sort of stuff I like.
So, here goes: 1) Zork Nemesis 2) Myst IV Revelation 3) Syberia I 4) The Longest Journey 5) Fahrenheit (Indigo Prophecy) 6) Zork Grand Inquisitor 7) Myst III Exile 8) Grim Fandango 9) The Beast Within (Gabriel Knight) 10) The Omega Stone I wish they'd make another Zork game

Welcome NeuroMed. You may not have played a lot of games but you've got quite a good list there. I've either enjoyed or heard others have enjoyed everything on it.
Hopefully you can find something else around the forums that will serve you as well as a new Zork game would. This thread might help point you in a good direction for that.

Hey, thanks so much for the welcome. Thanks, also, for the link that you posted. After following a couple different leads and reading what others had to say, I logged onto Amazon and bought Sanitarium for $10. You really couldn't go wrong for that price. In short, this forum has already proved itself to be a cool resource for finding good adventure games.
I figure I'll just catch up on some of the classics and maybe pick up a new title here and there. Cheers. |

My list is kind of screwy because I haven't really played that many adventure games. But for what it's worth here's my top ten, in no particular order, of what I have played.
7th Guest - this was the game I got when my parents bought our first computer (running on Windows 95). It it took me a year (seriously...) to figure out how to install the game. Yeah yeah, go ahead and laugh.  My greatest adventure game claim to fame was finally beating that microscope puzzle. Full Throttle Grim Fandango Indigo Prophecy - well...the first half or so Last Express - probably my top favorite Maniac Mansion - NES version. The computer version is probably better, but I've never played it. So maybe I played a stripped down version, but I loved it all the same. Police Quest - VGA version Return to Mysterious Island Shivers - loved the music in this game, even did a remix of the main theme Still Life |

Alucard, whjy are you only playing SOTN now? It was like in the 90's I finished that game. It is the best out of the Castlevanias of all that had come out after it.
Anyway back to adventure. Thanks for the welcome Melanie. I did look at that page a week or two ago but as there are so many it is hard to grasp exactly what will be lie what I want without thoroughly looking at each one. I as you saw I really like Colonels Bequest and the old early 90s Sherlock Holmes game (not the FMV one). I forgot to mention that Hotel Dusk and Phoenix Wright series do deserve honourable mentions as with Diskworld Noir but the DS ones more due to the fact that it is recent and that its good to see adventures on these portable platforms. I want to get back into GK3 but should I plunge into MI4 or not too? Since Sam n Max I finished last week I need to get into something outside of the Wii and DS/PSP. Thanks. |

Ouch. I both love and hate these "list'em" threads. Love because I get to honor the games I've played and hate because I always feel like I'm leaving some out that really is worth mentioning. I won't assign ranks to them, but I will make a top 10 (no specific order, except for #1)
1. Gabriel Knight - Sins of the Fathers - Conquests of the Longbow - Kings Quest V - Quest for Glory 1-4 (sorry, I couldn't pick just one. The whole series is epic) - Monkey Island I - Monkey Island III - Police Quest III - The Kindred - Space Quest IV - Simon The Sorcerer I - Leisure Suit Larry in the land of the Lounge Lizards (the game that started my adventuregame-frenzy as early as back in 1987) Damn.. 10 is just too short of a list to make! :-( |

It's one of my all time favourite PlayStation games and was the first i ever had.I did import a copy from America i few years ago but didn't realize it would only work on a 'chipped' PS. I had one but my sister wanted to use it whenever i borrowed it (conveniently  ). I managed to get the uk collector's edition off ebay a few months ago and i've been playing it ever since. It's taking me so long to go through cuz i'm thoroughly clearing the game out and i'm taking my time with it - something i've not done before.
