Feel a bit outside here. As i'm just starting to appreciate adventure games. But Fandango then Monkey 2 then 3 then I have to go back to the BBC Master system (if anyone actually remembers that computer way back in 1983/84) to text games like Lord of the Rings and Knights of the Round table.

[Sly Boots]

1. Anachronox (it has enough adventure elements, also - great RPG)
2. Grim Fandango
3. Syberia (just beautiful)
4. Nightlong: Union City Conspiracy (love the ful name, great atmosphere, I would love to play more adventure games placed in the future)
5. Quest For Glory 4 (very long - haven't finshed it yet)
6. Broken Sword 1
7. Monkey Island 3
8. Post Mortem
9. Hopkins FBI
10.Discworld Noir

There are a lot of adventure games I didn't have time to play, I hope I will in the future, so this list could change.

[Ripley]

To Sly Boots: Just noticed your avatar is Kate Walker. Guess you liked the game (Syberia) too. Happens to be my all-time favorite game. Loved the music, the graphics, and actually like the storyline and enjoyed the gameplay.

[Sly Boots]

To The Talented Mr. Ripley: I love Syberia (#3), because I love games that wake emotions. Syberia gave me a feeling of melancholy when I played it, much like Grim Fandango, Deus Ex - uncertainty, Max Payne - madness, but Anachronox really did it for me because it covers a great variety of emotions. Also, I enjoy good humour in a game. I like games made for the pure pleasure of gaming and not for $$$.
Don't get me wrong, I play arcade, FPS, football (european), racing and other mindless games too, but i only remember the special ones.
I chose Kate Walker because I couldn't find Sly Boots

[Thilodius]

Just a few ones I always remember:

Mummy: Tomb of the Pharaoh
Journeyman Project 3: Legacy of Time
Myst 3: Exile (not THAT good, but quality is rare these days)

More if I can think of them...

Oh, who can forget the Death level in Kings Quest: Mask of Eternity! (never played the earlier ones, woe is me).

Syberia #3????? Oh, you have it listed as #3 on your list....oops. Thought you meant Syberia 3....no such game....yet. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Btw, it's Ms. not Mr. Ripley.... Haven't seen that movie yet.

[Antrax]

At the risk of bumping an ancient thread and pissing everyone off, I'll make my debut in this thread (still mostly lurking to figure out who's who).
So, in no particular order:
The Curse of Monkey Island
Grim Fandango
Death Gate
Gabriel Knight: Sins of the Fathers
Day of the Tentacle
Sam&Max Hit the Road
The Dig
Under a Killing Moon
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis
Simon the Sorcerer I

As you can see, I'm not crazy about the new stuff. Some of it is because I haven't really kept track of what came out lately, and what did come out was disappointing (yes, even The Longest Journey. Way too linear).

Wow, that's a nice list. It almost makes me want to try out Under a Killling Moon.

There's not going to be a Syberia 3.


And finally here's my list (in no particular order):
- Grim Fandango
- The Longest Journey
- Gabriel Knight III: Blood of the Sacred, Blood of the Damned (best in the series)
- Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars (best in the series)
- Full Throttle
- Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's Revenge (best in the series)
- Leisure Suit Larry 7: Love for Sail (or LSL 6, it's hard to pick)
- Freddy Pharkas: Frontier Pharmacist
- Day of the Tentacle
- Indiana Jones and The Fate of Atlantis

Whenever I hear Ripley, I think Believe it or Not, not any of the movies. Mainly because I haven't seen either Alien or The Talented Mr. Ripley.

You've *got* to play Blade Runner...I couldn't finish Nightlong because it was so dissapointing in relation to Blade Runner. =)

[Captain Blondebeard]

Is anyone iterested in selling me any of the Discworld games?

[XPelargos]

While I agree with almost all of your choices, I have no idea why you like Beneath a Steel Sky. I downloaded it with ScummVM and I found the comic intro boring, horrible, horrible voice acting, a robot sidekick I wanted to destroy, and a protagonist whos plight was only mildly interesting.

After a bit, I stopped, and went back to the FM-Towns version of Loom, which I loved and nobody else seems to. I am appalled that Evan Dickens placed Beneath a Steel Sky in a higher position than Monkey Island 2

Okay, the rant is officially over

My Top games (no order)
Gabriel Knight 1: Genius, genius, genius. Compelling, great puzzles (except Rada Drum playing and message writing on tomb)
Day of the Tentacle: What can I say that hasn't been said? Awesome
King's Quest VI: Deserves to be named 3rd best adventure game. It's a shame it sank into obscurity.
Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis: Multiple paths, Nazis to beat up, great puzzles, what else could you want?
Laura Bow 1: I was really impressed by this mystery title, but the sequel wasn't as good
The Space Quest Series: The only Sierra series to not have a bad game.
Leisure Suit Larry: Except for 2 and 5, a solid series
Monkey Island 1, 2, and 3: You all know why these are here
Grim Fandango: Unique in many ways, stunning, deserved better in sales and appreciation.
Quest for Glory series: a fine mix of RPG and Adventure
Sam and Max: One of the funniest games ever, with the best cop team in the world
Loom: An underrespected game from Lucasarts. An intriguing fantasy tale about a song weaver. Check it out!
Others:
Sanitarium: Certainly eerie and terrifying, but a better interface, view, and voice acting would have catapulted this to one of the top positions
Border Zone: My favorite Text Adventure. Had a built in timer, let you play the game from three perspectives, not too hard but not too easy.
Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: This is by no means a true classic, but it did have the single best puzzle in any adventure game I have played: The Babel Fish puzzle. At the moment I finally made the fish plop into my ear, I realized how awesome puzzles could truly be.
Zork 1: Simply a classic
Adventure: The first text adventure. Revolutionized gaming

There are others, but I think this is fine, don't you?

Its a buggy, poor graphical, shite puzzled, bad dialogued piece of poo.

Every other game in the series is 1000% better than Larry 7.

I liked the game alot. I appreciate a good cartoony graphic game. Plus I like the "Wheres Dildo" mini game. The only thing I didnt like was the option to type in commands.

Actually, that was half the fun for me. The typing interface contains a LOT of extra jokes, depending on what action/topic of conversation you type into it. For example, you can ask different characters about the game's creators, or you can type in "violent" verbs to get the narrator to make a Warcraft joke. There used to be a website which contained a section of "Did You Try...?" ideas that produced funny results if you typed them into the game, but I no longer have the link.

Are you talking about that arcade game? You know, where you played as a square and ducks where chasing you and you collected all these keys?
