Well, I want everyone to tell me which was his/her favourite adventure game, so that I will take ideas as for which I should buy.

[Max Gruber]

My favourite adventure game was:


Aura: Fate of the Ages

[Jelena]

I've always put Riven on top of my favourite game-list. But Still Life is a close number two. Today.

[Yzzyx]

I've got two favourites: Grim Fandango and The Longest Journey, although I'm afraid you may find these are two very common choices.

[Drunken Irishman]

Grim Fandango. One of the few games that has actually "spoken" to me. Powerful stuff.

Quest for Glory series. Because they are awesome, that's why. Why are they so awesome? Because they are made from awesome. Logical.

Pandora Directive. Because it's one of the few games in where you're choices actually affect the plot and the fate of characters. And Tex Murphy is my hero. Man, Tex Murphy is like... ... I mean, he reminds us that no matter how bad things seem they will always get worser... but damn it, a man has to do what a man has to do! Tex is awesome! A true hero. A true man who is an example to all boys. I even started smoking because Tex smokes. He calls it P.I's breakfast. That's how awesome he is.

With favourite adventure game - do you mean "all time" or only recent?

If all time favourite adventure game, then it has to be:
Flight of the Amazon Queen

If only recent, then it's:
CSI series

[DustyShinigami]

Broken Sword: The Shadow of the Templars for me. I've no idea what should come at a close second though.

[ShadeJackrabbit]

The Journeyman Project 2 or 3. After that, I'd say Syberia.

[Milad241]

1.The longest journey
2.Broken sword: shadow of templars
3.Grim fandango

[aries323]

Let's see:

1. The Longest Journey

2. Grim Fandango

3. Syberia 1

[Kazmajik]

Gabriel Knight 1
Gabriel Knight 3
Gabriel Knight 2
King's Quest VI

[colpet]

Riven.

[Lucien21]

Day of the Tentacle

[MdaG]

Myst IV - Revelation

I've played all the Myst games and only liked Riven and Revelation, but Revelation is soo much better than all the rest.

[eriq]

The Curse of Monkey Island, Space Quest III, Zak McKracken and the Alien Mindbenders, and Dreamweb!

[MoonBird]

Flight Of The Amazon Queen

[fajerkaos]

It's either the first Monkey Island or Phoenix Wright 3 (I know it's a very recent game, but I really like it that much).

[nmge]

In terms of hard cash, I spent, or more accuratly my parents spent huge amounts of money on an online game called SHADES. It was an old bbc micro adventure on the prestel network, and could have as many as seven or eight players at once! Massive amounts of fun to be had but hideously expensive at peak time.

Overall though, it has to be Grim Fandango. It has already been mentioned, and will be more I'm sure, and for good reason. Playing it again recently reminded me just how good a game of any genre can be. A genuinely adult themed game with fleshed out charcaters whose fate you actually care about. Some might say the puzzles could be a touch random in places, but I would say they had to be. A real favourite of mine, and certainly in my top five games of all time across every platform.

[Ariel Type]

The Secret of Monkey Island. Ideal adventure game.

Gabriel Knight 3 closely followed by Grim Fandango and The Longest Journey.
